Olympic games Leotards

[makam]

I am just catching up on session 5 and also love egypt’s leo. Trying to find a picture. Also love Korea’s iridescent leos. If I can’t have velvet, give me iridescent.

 

[Angelika]

I totally loved Korea’s - can’t find a photo anywhere!

I also liked Alexa Moreno’s leo top (don’t love the belt) and her coordinating hair.

Wonder why Germany has been going for unitards instead of coordinating leggings?

 

[Kittentoes]

I loved them. I liked that it was matte fabric, no mesh cutout, and then a nice design for the sparkle.

Idk if this thread is only for the women, but the US men’s lewk for team final was AWFUL. What was with the eagle? It looked like Trump designed them himself.

It’s not always a good idea to put a bird on it.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

They’ve been a fan of eagles for a while now. It was even added to the women’s repertoire this year. The red prelims leo has a design of an eagle in crystals.

There was a men’s leotard a few years back that featured an eagle. Before 2016.

I miss Jake Dalton. He made anything look good.

 

[Kittentoes]

They look more like German war eagles than bald eagles. Plus they are biting the guys in the nips.

They remind me a lot of equestrian vaulting unitards, which makes sense given that vaulting is incredibly popular in Germany (and they’ve produced plenty of world champions). I like them, but having vaulted for a long time I’m probably biased towards the look

Today’s USA leotard is a throwback to this.

I loved the US leo from team finals. It could have been less sparkly (a lot less sparkly) but the color blocking was gorgeous. It had a nice sporty + spangly feel. And the throwback aspect of it is also lovely.

 

[lovegymnasts]

This time I actually liked the sparkles. Loved the leo!

 

[arabiandoublefront]

US’s team finals leo reminded me a little of the one that Carly Patterson wore on day 2 of the 2004 Olympic Trials, just a different order for the colors and no Adidas stripes.

 

[KristyJ]

Agree that today’s team finals was a great look for the US. Honestly most of them- I liked Russia’s, China’s, GB’s, Italy’s, Japan’s

 

[RedBirdie]

I really like the US one. Yeah, rhinestones, but it’s athletic looking, even with the center mesh (looks like red mesh atop white matte spandex).

 

[Annietart]

I loved Japan’s team leo. I didn’t like it when they first showed it but on the gymnasts it looked so lovely.

Loved the throwback USA, only could’ve been better if they put the USA on the chest.

The women’s team final was honestly the first time I loved all the team Leos. Especially France!

The US men’s Leos looked like they had been designed by Harley Davidson circa 2003.

 

[catou]

I’m kind of a bit off topic but does anyone knows when full body leos where allowed by FIG?
