Olympic gymnast Suni Lee was seen trying a new sport in Bangkok, Thailand. The Olympic gold medalist gave golf a shot during her vacation, and after a miss-hit, she knew it wasn’t her game. Lee is currently enjoying her time away from gymnastics and is exploring other interests, including fashion, after moving to New York.
Suni Lee last competed at the 2024 Paris Games and won her first gold medal in the team event, along with two individual bronze medals in the uneven bars and individual all-around events, bringing her total Olympic medal tally to six.
Since her Paris Olympics run, Suni Lee has been taking some time away from the sport. Back in December, she enjoyed a beach getaway in Tulum. Then, in early 2025, she tried skiing for the first time. Most recently, the Olympic gymnast has been seen vacationing in Bangkok, Thailand.

"How to live life without gymnastics has been the hardest" - Suni Lee gets real about her break from the sport
Suni Lee made her Olympic debut at 18, winning three medals, including gold in the all-around. After the Games, she enrolled at Auburn University, but had to end her college career during her sophomore year after being diagnosed with kidney disease.
In the Humans of Hoka film released in June 2025, Lee shared about how hard it was to live without gymnastics.
"Trying to learn how to live life without gymnastics has been the hardest thing. I've been doing gymnastics for 17 years, and I've never had a break from it.... I left during my sophomore year because I ended up getting sick with three kidney diseases at the time. Now I have two. It was just such a hard moment because I didn't know what was going on. Not knowing if I was ever going to do gymnastics again,"Lee said. (0:30 onwards)
Before stepping away, Lee helped the Auburn Tigers to a fourth-place finish in the 2022 NCAA Championships.
