Team USA’s gymnastics competitors are set to sparkle in crystal leotards at the 2024 Paris Olympics . Ahead of the highly anticipated games, which begin July 26, the one-of-a-kind uniforms for the US gymnastics team were revealed, debuting special adornments that pay homage to the host city. This is the first time any of the Olympic gymnastics uniforms have been shown ahead of the games.
USA Gymnastics and GK Elite unveiled the 2024 leotards that will be worn by Jordan Chiles, Simone Biles , Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera, Leanne Wong, Joscelyn Roberson, and Suni Lee during their on-mat routines. Additionally, the uniforms for the men’s gymnastics competitors – Paul Juda, Stephen Nedoroscik, Brody Malone, Frederick Richard, and Asher Hong – were revealed, too. Over 47,000 Swarovski crystals will be embroidered across the eight different styles of leotards, which athletes are welcome to choose from.
Every crystal was carefully stitched on to the garments by GK Elite’s Pennsylvania production team in the US. While the shimmering additives are inspired by old Hollywood glitz and the red, white, and blue hues are meant to motivate patriotic spirit, pearl detailing will also be incorporated as an ode to the “City of Love.” In a July 10 press release, Matt Cowan, the CEO of Elite Sportswear, LP, the parent conglomerate of GK Elite expressed gratitude for the purposeful work put into crafting the 2024 uniforms.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with USA Gymnastic.
