The 21-year-old Olympic medalist appeared in a bikini in a post shared by the magazine on social media. Her debut in the magazine will be in the May 2025 issue, according to Sports Illustrated. “We’re thrilled to launch our photoshoot season for the 2025 edition with an extraordinary lineup of powerful female athletes,” said SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day.

“This remarkable group, featuring Olympic medalists, world champions, and record-holders, represents the next generation of stars ready to transform the sports world. They challenge stereotypes and advocate for equality, inspiring young girls to envision themselves as athletes and leaders.”

Lee was the first of three athletes announced on Monday (4) as models for SI Swim in the 2025 edition, including Olympic skier Eileen Gu and sprinter Gabby Thomas, who won three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
