Rebecca Bross is currently in the midst of some of the toughest training of her gymnastics career.  The strenuous and long hours of practice that gymnasts endure is what GK had in mind when designing GymTek leotards.  A high performance gymnastics leotard for the serious gymnast... whether elite or beginner. 

Rebecca said, "GK leotards have always been my favorite.  They are the most comfortable and fit the best.  Now, with their new GymTek Leotards, GK has taken it one step further.  They have no tags which means nothing bothering you while you practice and a breathable fabric to keep you cool even on very hot summer days, like the ones we are already starting to have here in Texas.  Also, there are no side seams which make the GymTek leotards even more comfortable. I definitely recommend them!"

Here, Rebecca is wearing GymTek Open T-Back Performance Leotard 3675, a scoop neck gymnastics workout leotard in black StretchTek, featuring an open t-back, charcoal tech mesh panels, and contrasting cover stitching. Her matching shorts are GymTek Blue Flatlock Gymnastics Shorts 3678, high performance gymnastic shorts in black StretchTek, featuring charcoal tech mesh panels for breathability, and contrasting blue flatlock stitching for comfort.

The Kalon Ludvigson Invitational was held at the Utah Olympic Oval on March 17, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The event is in its second year of becoming an annual competition and this year's was the largest tumbling competition in Utah history with 543 athletes competing in 1,128 events!  Athletes came from Canada, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. 

Kalon Ludvigson, a senior elite athlete who trains at Team Revolution in Pocatello, Idaho, hosted the event.  Kalon is the most decorated U.S. Athlete in Trampoline and Tumbling History.  He has won 19 World Cup and World Championship Medals and is the only American to hold a World Record for Degree of Difficulty in tumbling, which he has claimed twice, once in 2008 and again in 2011.  Kalon has garnered an international reputation with all of his success so far.

GK was honored to sponsor the Kalon Ludvigson Invitational and equally proud to design the Team Revolution custom gymnastics apparel for the men and woman athletes competing for Team Revolution.  Kalon Ludvigson said, "GK Elite Sportswear is always my number one choice for competition apparel. Nothing fits better, makes me feel stronger, or helps me to stand out like GK.  I feel so honored that GK wanted to be part of my event!" 

TR's eye-catching creation is a custom gymnastics leotard design created just for them!  The Neon Lime Nylon/Spandex and Black Mystique fabrics are a statement-making choice.  The women's leotard sparkles with Brilliance Crystals scattered all over the abstract flame design.  Revolution is spelled out on the left sleeve in Brilliance Crystals for even more sparkle! The men have coordinating shorts in Neon Lime Nylon.  You can't miss Team Revolution when they hit the competition floor!  Kainoa Park, a Team Revolution Junior Elite Athlete said, "GK leotards fit so comfortably.  That comfort paired with my coach's custom design make me feel so pretty when I am competing.  I feel like nothing can go wrong when you look so good!"
