Get ready for floor routines that sparkle like disco balls. Today, sportswear company GK Elite and USA Gymnastics revealed the leotards and apparel that gymnasts will wear on-mat at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris—and they're not your average spandex suits. Team USA, led by Simone Biles, will take the stage (er, mat) covered in crystals.
The eight women’s leotards—shining in red, white, and blue, of course—feature more than 47,000 Swarovski crystals, with some gems applied by hand, detailing flag designs, paisley patterns, star shapes, swirls, stripes, and bursts of color. In addition to crystals, Swarovski pearls will adorn the USA Gymnastics leotards for the first time as a tribute to the Olympics host city Paris.
