Skye Blakely is a rising star in gymnastics who was on her way to qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics, but an injury to her right Achilles tendon forced her to withdraw from the Olympic Trials.

The 19-year-old is set to join the Florida Gators gymnastics team.

But first, she enjoyed the holiday in London for an epic photoshoot with Nike for its new collection with Isamaya Beauty.

At the 2024 National Championships, she finished second in the all-around behind the GOAT Simone Biles. She also finished in second on the vault and third on the uneven bars and balance beam.

Skye is a two-time gold medalist in the World Championships as part of Team USA in the team all-around, and earned three medals at the 2022 Pan American Championships in Rio de Janeiro -- silver in team all-around, and bronze medals in individual all-around and floor exercise.

It will be exciting to see what Skye can achieve at the collegiate level before making a run at another Olympic Games.
