U.S. Olympian Suni Lee Has Pulses Racing Over Vacation Outfit

American gymnast Suni Lee might be in vacation mode but she's still finding ways to keep her fans entertained.

Lee, 23, became a household name after winning gold in the all-around event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Although she dealt with health issues leading up to the 2024 Summer Games, she managed to capture another gold medal as well as two bronze medals. She became so popular that she was featured in the 2025 issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

"Gymnastics has definitely impacted my body image," Lee told SI Swimsuit. "We have to wear skin-tight leotards. There are so many critics online, but I'm always going to be my biggest critic, so whenever you read things, it just kind of makes you overthink. But I just had to learn that my body is my temple and I wouldn't be able to do what I have to do without it."

Even though Lee wasn't included in the 2026 magazine, she caused quite the stir this Friday by posting vacation photos on Instagram.

Judging by most of the replies, Lee's outfit this Friday gets a 10 out of 10 from her fans.

"Oh you're STUNNING," one person commented.

"Prettiest face I ever seen," a second person said.

"Sooooo beautiful," an Instagram user wrote.

As of this moment, Lee hasn't made a final decision on whether she'll compete in the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. She's ultimately going to see how she feels leading up to this event.

"I think last Olympics I put so much pressure on myself," Lee said, via GymnasticsVille. "I just kind of want to see where I'm at and how my body feels."

Lee's fans wouldn't mind seeing her compete on the big stage again, make no mistake about it.
