'On competition day, we will decide what to wear.' 👏✨
As noted bythe team chose to wear outfits with long sleeves and ankle-length pants to the women's qualifier competition, which took place in Tokyo on Sunday, July 25. The team performed their routines in unitards with burgundy pants and cutout details at the ankles. Traditionally, gymnasts compete in bikini-cut leotards with long or half sleeves, or go sleeveless.
The team's new outfits were meant to "present [themselves] aesthetically — without feeling uncomfortable." The team members were instrumental in making the change to the unitard look. "It's about what feels comfortable," said gymnast Elisabeth Seitz, per. "We wanted to show that every woman, everybody, should decide what to wear." The switch-up was readily accepted by the team's coaches.
