Maccabi USA celebrates Jewish Unity, Culture, and Heritage through world athletic competition.  GK supplied the gymnasts of the U.S. National Team with competition leotards, workout leotards and warm-ups for the 12th Maccabi Pan Am Games held in Sao Paulo, Brazil December 26, 2011 through January 2, 2012. 

Abbe Shapiro, parent of current US Gymnastics Team Member Nicole Shapiro and former 5-year member, Samantha Shapiro, said, "We were thrilled to receive the box of GK leotards!  The leos and warm-ups are gorgeous! I am well aware of the stunning leotards GK has created for the U.S. National Team over the years and the leotards and warm-ups for the Maccabi Pan Am Games certainly were on par.  We are very grateful for the generosity shown by GK in helping to make the Maccabi Pan Am Games a very exciting and special experience for the gymnasts!"

The athletes sported their Team USA pride in GK's Sporty Asymmetrical Comp Leo 4854 in Navy Mystique, White Sparkle and Red Mystique with Clear Crystals and GK's Sporty Cross Body Gym Leo 4858 in Navy Mystique, White Sparkle and Red Mystique with Brilliance Crystals.  For training, the gymnasts wore GK's Blue & White Striped Tank Leo 3665, Blue Zig Zag Trim Workout Leo 3594 and Blue & Red Asymmetrical Tank 3672.  In between events, Team USA sported GK's Mystique & Velvet Warm Ups 1788 with USA embroidered in white on the left chest. 

Congratulations to Team USA on their Gold Medal Win at the games!  The team took home a total of 7 Gold medals and 6 Silver medals including Team Gold and Individual All Around Gold for Nicole Shapiro and All Around Silver for Lauren De Meno.
