A Chat with 2012 Women's Olympic Team Member, Aly Raisman

GK Congratulates Aly Raisman on earning her spot on the 2012 Women's Gymnastics Olympic Team!  The Olympic Trials were so exciting!  GK recently spoke to Aly at a GK photo shoot about going professional and her training schedule.  We also asked Aly about what it's been like as a GK endorsed athlete so far.  Here is what she shared with us about GK.

GK:  What do you like about GK gymnastics leotards?  Do you have a favorite that you wear time and again to the gym?

Aly:  I have so many GK leotards, I love them. They are so comfortable. Personally, my favorites are the spandex material gymnastic leotards. I am at the gym for hours. I’ve got to be comfortable while training! I am very into the summer leotards, the bright pinks and blues, so cute!

GK:  What was it like to be a part of the 2012-2013 Women’s Competitive Catalog shoot?

Aly:  Doing the GK photo shoot was so much fun! I love to do shoots because you can be dramatic, smiley, or anything, it's up to you. It's almost like you are an actress playing a part, it's really cool. Trying on all the gymnastics leotards and getting my hair and make up done, was like playing dress up, so fun!

GK:  How did you like modeling the GK SWAROVSKI COUTURE leotard?

Aly:  Modeling the GK SWAROVSKI leotard was such an honor, the leotard is so beautiful. I loved it so much that when I had a chance to design a leotard for the Visa Championships I based it on the couture leotard. I had to change it because it would have been way too heavy! I never had worn a white leo before, but modeling the couture leotard made me realize how beautiful white can be and how much it pops on the floor!

GK:  Anything else you’d like to say to your fans and GK fans?

Aly:  I am so honored and so thrilled to be able to be a part of the GK family. GK is such a fantastic company, they have the best gymnastic leotards!

Thank you Aly for taking the time to talk to us.  GK will be cheering you on - all the way to London!  Check out Aly in the current GK Competitive Catalog
