Thomas, a track and field athlete and two-time Olympian, completely stunned in front of the lens in a peach-colored one-piece by HAUS OF PINKLEMONAID. As for glam, Thomas’s hair was styled sleek and smooth by hairstylist Sam Leonard. Makeup artist Tracy Murphy was also on set, and gave Thomas a natural, glowy look for her SI Swimsuit debut.

During her Olympic debut in Tokyo in 2021, Thomas, 27, secured a bronze medal in the 200m event and a silver in the 4x100 relay. This past summer, she added to her impressive collection of medals during the 2024 Paris Olympics. She earned three golds, including one in her signature event, the 200m, as well as the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.

Lee, an artistic gymnast and two-time Olympian, absolutely nailed her SI Swimsuit photo shoot, opting for a brown two-piece by St. Agni for one of her many looks on set. She sprawled out in an outdoor lounger, showcasing not only her trim athletic figure, but also her sweet smile (complete with a pink lip, courtesy of Murphy) and hard-earned Olympic ring tattoo on her forearm.

The 21-year-old athlete made her Olympic debut at the 2020 games in Tokyo, where she claimed one gold, one silver and one bronze medal. This past summer, Lee was a member of the U.S. women’s national gymnastics team in Paris, and took home three additional medals: one gold and two bronze.

Korda, 26, is the No. 1 female professional golfer in the world with a total of 14 LPGA wins to date. While on set in the Sunshine State, the athlete channeled a Bond girl in a white chain-adorned two-piece by Vitamin A. Her look was further enhanced by beachy blonde waves, courtesy of Leonard.

Korda, who was just named the 2024 Rolex Player of the Year by the LPGA, is only the third woman in LPGA Tour history to claim five consecutive victories, starting with the 2024 LPGA Drive on Championship in January and concluding with the Chevron Championship in March.

Gu, a freestyle skier, is a three-time Olympic medalist with 15 World Cup titles to her name (the most of any freestyle skier in history). The 21-year-old athlete completely took our breath away in this Baywatch-inspired red one-piece by Norma Kamali while on location. Her fresh-faced glam and supermodel waves really pulled the look together.

In addition to her prowess as an Olympic athlete, Gu has also racked up several accomplishments at the X Games. In 2021, she became the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal at the event, as well as the first rookie to take home three medals (two gold and one bronze) at the X Games.

Ali Truwit

Trwuit, a competitive swimmer, made her debut at the Paralympics this summer in Paris where she walked away with two silver medals. The 24-year-old was sure to bring her medals to Boca Raton, Fla., matching her string thong two-piece to her winnings in the gorgeous shot above. Truwit looked beautiful on the beach with her long blonde hair blowing in the ocean breeze.

Just over a year before competing in the 2024 Paralympics, Truwit survived a shark attack in Turks and Caicos while on vacation. This resulted in her having to have a transtibial (below-knee) amputation of her left leg on her 23rd birthday, which removed her foot and part of her leg. This, of course, didn’t keep Truwit away from the water for long. The Yale graduate was determined to swim competitively again and began training.

Caroline Marks

Marks, a professional surfer, is a two-time Olympian from Florida. The 22-year-old actually made her debut with SI Swimsuit in 2020—when she just turned 18—being photographed surfing out in the ocean. Four years later, Marks has returned to the brand, and a lot has happened since she posed for the magazine. For one, she won a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games, and she’s not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon.

When she’s not surfing, Marks is an advocate for body positivity, unfortunately having faced public comments about her body from a young age.
