As part of the festivities at the USA Gymnastics National Congress and Tradeshow, GK Elite sponsored a
Design a Leotard Contest. Applicants were able to show their design skills by sketching and coloring thier own custom gymnastics apparel. They could even add jewels and embellishments to make their designs shine!
Prizes were awarded each day of Congress to participants in different age groups. Winners received GK gift certificates and clothing prizes. One Lucky Grand Prize Winner will receive their Custom Design Gymnastics Leotard made especially for them.
The 2010 Grand Prize Winner was Macy Toronjo from Huntsville Texas and Texas Dreams Gymnastics in Coppell TX.
GK Elite Sportswear has long offered its Custom Design services for Teams. All that is needed is a basic sketch and the Design Team at GK will make it happen. And for teams who order 6 or more leotards, the design fee is FREE! If you are interested in creating a custom design leotard or warm up for your team, print out our Custom Design Worksheets:

as noted on the
Make It or Break It Blog:
Love the fashions from
Make It or Break It? We got the inside scoop behind some of the leotard’s featured from the show.
Did you catch
Kaylie’s candy pink and black practice leo in tonight’s episode? This beautiful asymmetrical leotard was introduced in the GK 2010 Spring Gymnastics Workout Essentials Leotards and Apparel Catalog.
Made from Candy Pink and Black Mystique, this striking leotard features an asymmetrical strap design. Asymmetrical leotard styles have always enjoyed popularity. But this last year has been more so, as asymmetrical styling has been featured prominently on runways, red carpets and in fashion magazines.
This may possibly be credited to US First Lady Michelle Obama, who wore an asymmetrical dress to her husband’s inauguration ball. You can now find this leotard in the GK Summer Leotards catalog online!!!

One of our gymnasts was photographed in her new adidas leotard with world gymnastics legend Mrs. Věra Čáslavská. Czech Gymnast Patricie Truneckova poses here after a Memorial Gymnastics Competition with Věra Čáslavská, the most decorated gymnast in Czech gymnastics history. This photo was made by chance as Patricie did not have camera.
What a wonderful contrast - gymnastics future and Czech gymnastic famous history.
The gymnast girl has also other big idol - Nastia Liukin
