In Pictures: Suni Lee has fun-filled time during her vacation in Tulum

Suni Lee made a stunning splash as she turned heads in a chic white bikini during her vacation in Tulum, Mexico. After navigating a hectic schedule from returning to the sport, competing and clinching medals at the Paris Olympics, and making media appearances, Lee has embarked on a vacation in the coastal town on the Yucatan Peninsula.

The 21-year-old contributed to the American women's gymnastics squad securing a gold medal in the team event at the French capital. She bagged 14.566, 14.600, and 13.533 points in the uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise event. Moreover, Lee also bagged a bronze medal in the uneven bars after scoring an impressive 14.800 points.

She followed Simone Biles and Rebeca Andrade to clinch third place in the women's individual all-around event. While Biles and Andrade recorded 59.131 and 57.932 points, respectively, Lee collected 56.465 points.

Following the victorious streak, she has been juggling a packed schedule. Lee was recently named one of Glamour’s “Women of the Year” and was seen attending the event, where the Olympian was awestruck after receiving a hug from American pop star Beyonce.

She then took off for a vacation to the exotic town, where she was seen dazzling in a white chic bikini, basking in the sun. She paired the look with a diamond-studded Olympic ring necklace pendant and silver rings in her ears. The American gymnast completed the look with two elegant bracelets and a tightly wrapped braid.

She shared a few pictures of the outfit on social media and wrote:

"From tulum w love."

Suni Lee secured her first Olympic gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games after dominating the women's individual all-around event.

Following this, she navigated kidney-related health issues for a brief period and made an unlikely comeback in the 2024 Olympic year, when she settled on a bronze medal.

In an interview with Glamour.com, she took pride in bagging a bronze medal, highlighting the challenges and struggles she had been through.

“Not many people get to come here twice and compete with the best of the best," Lee said. "I just felt absolutely amazing. And now I’ve learned to really take everything in, and I think that’s why I’m so happy with all of my medals.”

“People are like, ‘You shouldn’t be happy. It’s a bronze medal,’ But I’m like, ‘You don’t know what I’ve had to go through to get this freaking bronze medal.’”

Suni Lee's kidney-related health issue also forced her to end her collegiate gymnastics career prematurely.
