Gymnastic star Suni Lee, along with sprinter Gabby Thomas and swimmer Caeleb Dressell, have added ‘model’ to their list of accomplishments.
These Olympic athletes, representing Team USA at the Paris Games, were selected to feature in Kim Kardashian’s Olympic SKIMS campaign alongside sprinter Fred Kerley and Paralympians Jessica Long and Nick Mayhugh.
‘SKIMS FOR TEAM USA!!!! Let the games begin!’ Kardashian wrote in a Friday night Instagram post, just after the opening ceremony.
The athletes showcased a variety of outfits ranging from t-shirts and sweatpants to America-branded underwear.
Kardashian also shared a glimpse of the photoshoot in a video.

‘I enjoy competing alongside other athletes and representing my country,’ Lee stated, with Long speaking about the ‘sacrifice, tears, and excitement’ involved.
‘For me, Team USA symbolizes strength, confidence, and hard work,’ Thomas added, while Dressell described the Games as a ‘surreal emotional moment.’
The Gold Medal winner previously opened up about his excitement for working with SKIMS, an official partner of the Games.
‘In Tokyo, I remember seeing all the girls in cozy loungewear, and we were curious, “What is that?” Dressell reminisced in a Vogue interview earlier this week.
‘They told us, “Oh, it’s Kim’s brand.” We were really envious,’ he continued.
‘My wife, Meghan, used some bodysuits when she was pregnant, and they were lifesavers. I wear the briefs every day.’
He even mentioned his plans to take a photo in the heart of Paris, wearing nothing but his SKIMS.
‘Oh yes, I’m definitely going to take a selfie at the Eiffel Tower, just in my Skims. I think it’ll make people smile.’
