2024 Paris Fashion and Olympic Leotard discussion

or toss a few thin sting mats under the beam to provide the contrast (or a carpet remnant from one of the other areas of the arena).

I think a different mat color for beam would be fine. Who cares if it's not the same as the rest. The sport is called gymnastics, not interior design.

I’m in Monaco and the only gold medal they’ve ever won was in 1924 for architecture

The fact that the mat color prevents gymnasts from seeing the beam is a problem for me.

Someone said they thought Suni took out her layout mount because of this.

Which color is the problem? The podium floor being cyan or the mats under the equipment being white? Because the mats have been white at every competition using Gymnova equipment for decades. 2022 Worlds just had all the exact same mats with the same white tops.

2006 Worlds, 2009 Worlds, 2012 Olympics, 2015 Worlds, 2016 Olympics, 2017 Worlds, 2018 Worlds.. All the same white top mats.

It's not just the white mats, it's the combination of that and the lights.

And yes, I know it's been that way before, but it should stop if the gymnasts are complaining about it.

 

[Dex]

Aren’t only US gymnasts complaining about it? Honest question because I did not hear anything from other gymnasts

What was Moreno thinking?
Hideous.

I hate the neck.

Someone on Reddit said it looks like the dress robes Ron Weasley received in that one Harry Potter film and now I can’t un see it.

I hate the neck.

I can't imagine how anyone likes the neck (other than whoever designed it. And whoever did, they should stop trying to make fetch happen. That is not a new trend that everyone is going to hop onto). And it looks itchy.

The French Leo was really pretty. So simple and classy.

Sabrina's lipstick color does not read well on tv (or in pictures). Besides, her mom is winning the makeup game.

I think Egypt won that round. Brazil is in second. Romania and Italy share the bronze.

Ukraine's was prettier than Italy's or Romania's. Switzerland (?) too.

At least they took the frills off the wrists of the Mexico leo.

I like the Romanian leo but I wonder if there's a version in white. It would be such a classically Romanian leo if it was white instead of black.
