I usually hate belts, but I like South Africa

In love with Germany's Leo. It speaks to me.

I could do without the white sides, but I really like this one!

I think it’s a shame that it’s not allowed to have a mix of unitards and leotards in team competition, as long as the body is the same. In not doing so, it kind of removes everything that allowing unitards was aiming to do. Since gymnasts don’t really have a choice as the rules stand.

 

[Kittentoes]

I love Germany's but it's very not Germany.

 

[MaryClare]

I wonder if, since they are not competing as a team, Germany will make a point regarding unitards and leotards not being considered matching uniform

I like this one:

That is simply beautiful!

Philippines

Japan

You can see where Ou Yushan got the stitches on her leg.

Spain

I like how it's the same leo in three different colors.

The individuals don't have to wear the same leotards even though there are 3 of them.

By the way, one of the threads we have created is on data.

I thought it would be fun to analyze the "team" totals of the 5 WAG and 3 MAG that have 3 athletes.
WAG: PHI, HUN (though Kovacs), GER, ESP, MEX
MAG: UZB, BEL, KOR

Should be fun!

Totally agree. Removing choice is not a step forwards.

I really like Italy's and loooove South Africa. Judicious use of the bling and incorporating something... cultural. Very cool.

Kinda like the Egyptian hieroglyphic leo from last years' Worlds.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Egypt's leo last year is definitely top ten of best leos of all time for me.

 

[Big_rock_show]

Not a leos, but the gym in Paris is probably my favorite in two decades. LOVE.

I like the white, but the top section reminds me of Australia’s “handkerchief” leotard from 1992 Olympics Optionals (not good)

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.

I suspect that was behind a lot of the beam issues we heard about.

Agreed. I think the arena is super pretty, but I don't like that lack of contrast.

On a lighter note, this rendering makes it look like they're gonna use the MIOBI beam.

 

[QuietColours]

I wonder if they could have gotten a beam cover the same shade as the vault? It would be a bit different, but at least there would have been contrast.

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).
