USA Gymnastics' Paris Olympics Uniforms Are Turning Heads

Striking reds and blues, patriotic stars and stripes, and tons of sparkling crystals. There's a reason why the USA Gymnastics team's blinged-out Olympics uniforms have got so many people talking.

Not only are they incredible people and athletes, but they look sparkly too ✨️❤🤍💙✨️

Thay are absolutely stunning can't wait to see all those crystals sparkle ❤

Very beautiful and stylish! Rhinestones make the uniform very elegant and bright!

They took out grace from their routines but don't worry, they added bling to their leos.

They are stunning . I just wonder how long before the crystals falling off become an issue, especially if on an apparatus

[Rayven]

I can’t even see the actual uniforms just a commercial for Swar crystals

One of my daughters is a high caliber competitive gymnast. The LEO is everthing. GK elite makes our LEOs and every year we spend hundreds and hundreds on them. I can personally say pictures don't do these justice. In person you can clearly see the amount of detail and time put into these. So intricate and stunning. I don't think anyone can fully grasp the beauty and art of the LEO unless they've seen them in person. That being said, cleaning them is a pain in the butt because you don't want to ruin them!

I'd hate to think about a crystal coming off and being stepped on. Ouch

[sandragostanian]

The uniforms are beautiful! All of the athletes deserve this level of beauty and bling for all the work they have put in to represent the U.S.A.! Go Team USA. ❤

I wonder if the crystals make the uniform itchy??

[cynthiawilliamson]

I love these uniforms. They are beautiful and they represent our country, red white and blue and I bet it comes from Simone’s company. She designs outfits as well.😮❤🎉🎉 I’ll bet you they cost an arm and a leg too!😮

Fantastic gymnasts and beautiful leotards. Good luck to them and the rest of the US Olympic team.

Chellsie Memmel (former US Team Member, World AA Gold Medalist, and current Team USA Women's Technical Lead) posted some pictures of her daughter, Audrie. GK made replicas of the team leos for Audrie, and of course, she had to try them all on. SO CUTE!

My first thought was what if one falls off on the balance beam and someone slips on it?

One of my favorite movie moments, whether it was true or not, was during 'I, Tonya' where Tonya lets the judges know she can't come up with 5k for a costume, has to make it herself & gets up every day at 5 to practice. I could see that in a world today where we still have athletes in the US working 2-3 jobs while also competing, that this is not such an outlandish idea--that our athletes don't really have the money for this TV stuff.

[haydonditchburn]

Totally ridiculous. How on earth do those crystals enhance the performance of the gymnasts..? Short answer, they don't. The Olympics is a sporting event of global significance, not the sport version of the Met Gala. Get over yourself US and focus on the needs of the athletes themselves, not your misguided need for bling.

[imissnj]

So much better than the pink from years past.

This seems like old hat to me. Women's gymnastics uniforms have been covered with AB crystals since the aughts if not earlier. Maybe it's new that they're Swarovski crystals or that there are so many of them per leotard, but this is nothing groundbreaking for the sport.
