Event (FIG) 2025 Worlds Leotards

[IratePanda]

Zhang Qingying's leo evokes Lunar New Year fireworks. I like it.

Not Belarus is also not wearing white or light blue. They're in purple/navy.

FIG sets rules and then treats them more like very loose guidelines

The FIG does not require the leotards to be white or light blue for what I would have hoped would be obvious reasons where female athletes are concerned.

It is only the warm ups that have to be that colour. Competition attire can be any neutral colour scheme and must have the AIN badge.

Thank you for the clarification @MaryClare

The high necklines need to go! It only looks good on very very few people. Also, that was so in fashion when I competed 25 years ago and I remember hating the neck clasps so much.

The exact styling/fit of Cameroon needs a little work, but I like what they were going for

Yes the shorts part need to be a little firmer fitting or a little longer so they don’t ride up and crease like that

 

[Peridot]

It fascinates me how many gymnasts do not buckle their grips completely. Having those flappy ends would drive me mad!

That isn't a good photo of them. They seemed to fit way better on video. Looked very smart.

[Passion]

It’s crazy how Nemour’s leo somehow looks both too big and too small for her.

 

[Puffin]

The black US leo looks like a glittery leo plus a harness!

Loved Ruby Evan's
The purple shade looks fantastic on Dulcy

Ruby looked beautiful - one of my favourite leotards so far.

 

[QuietColours]

An unfortunate side effect of a ton of sparkles on the neck/shoulder of the leotards and the bright lights is the reflections on the athlete's skin looks like bad acne outbreak on their chins

I don't think the high neck leos do Josc any favours (I speak as someone with an odd neck - they always made me look like a chipmunk).

However Skye looks lovely in the purple

 

[Hatsumomo]

That picture of Vaelen is kind of fun. It looks like she's jumping in celebration than being mid-vault, aside from her vault face.

The Australian white one is my favourite. Love the Mexican ones and the simple white to red with blue trim one is classic. Melnikova looks good in anything but I did like the lime green. Ruby and Abi looked nice.
