German Gymnasts Wear Unitards Because Women Don't Need To Be Half Naked To Compete, Dammit “Enough with this bullsh*t already. If men can be covered and compete, so can women. The world doesn't need to see our butt cheeks in every competitive sport.”
, there’s been a new focus on the inequity between men’s and women’s sports uniforms. Now, the Olympic gymnastics team from Germany is taking that conversation a step further — by wearing statement-making, full-length unitards to their qualifying competition to bring more attention to sexism in their sport.
The German team — made up of three-time Olympians Elisabeth Seitz, two-time Olympian Pauline Schäfer, Sarah Voss, and Kim Bui — wore long-legged and long-sleeved unitards during the July 25 preliminary rounds that determined which teams would advance to the Olympics finals.“We wanted to show that every woman, everybody, should decide what to wear,” Sietz“That doesn’t mean we don’t want to wear the normal leotard anymore. It is a decision day by day, based on how we feel and what we want.
