T&T Gymnast Flies in GK Leotard

Is it possible for a girl to fly?  If you are Charlotte Drury, the answer is YES! Charlotte, a Senior Elite Trampolinist and member of the USA Gymnastics National T&T Team knows what it takes to achieve her level of success and stands by the fact that GK truly is the Choice of Champions.

For any trampolinist, the need for leotards to fit long, slender, athletic body types is a necessity, and if a leo doesn't fit like a GK, then it has no business in the high-intensity world of T&T. However, for this 16-year-old from Laguna Niguel, there is one more extremely important factor... if you are going to win, WIN IN STYLE! Charlotte loves the flattering GK leotard designs and the comfort they provide. 

Charlotte was very excited to design a competition leotard for this year and the help she received from her GK Gymnastics Sales Rep, Kiana Ross, made the process easy and fun.  Charlotte's leotard is GK's Stunning Swirl Competition Leotard 9549, a long sleeve gymnastics leo featuring a classic neckline & scoop back with exquisite swirl design on the bodice and back.  Charlotte modified the sleeves to a comfortable 3/4 length and then chose White Mystique, Navy Mystique, and Steel Mystique fabrics.  The combination is beautiful and Clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS add the perfect finishing touch. 

Charlotte and her teammates at World Elite Gymnastics have an exciting road ahead and GK is exited & proud to be a part of it and will be cheering them on along the way!

GK proudly sponsored The Nastia Liukin Cup for the fourth consecutive year.  This year's competition took place on Friday, March 1st, at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts after an exciting lead up of qualifying competitions as part of the Nastia Liukin Cup Series.  A select number of gymnasts from each invitational advanced to the Nastia Liukin Cup.  Alex McMurtry of Midlothian, Virginia/Richmond Olympiad Gymnastics, won the all-around title Friday night after an exciting come-from-behind finish. This was McMurty's third straight Nastia Liukin Cup appearance, but this year she posted a 38.450 for the win.  Aja-Monet Sims of Clermont, Florida/Brandy Johnson's, 38.175, and Samantha Partyka of Katy, Texas/Champions Gymnastics Academy, 38.075, took second and third. 

GK was excited to provide each participant with a Nastia Liukin-designed tank leotard, competition leotard, and warm-up. In addition to their gymnastics apparel, each athlete got to meet and have their photo taken with Nastia and received 2 tickets to the 2013 American Cup.  Click here for some great photographs of Nastia handing out the GK gymnastics apparel to the participants.

Cheraw Gymchamps Choose GK for Competition

The Cheraw Gymchamps Gymnastics Team is part of the Cheraw Gymnastics Program in Cheraw, South Carolina.  Approximately 60 senior and junior team members make up the team which competes all over South Carolina.  The Gymchamps recently debuted their new GK gymnastics leotards for competition.  Vicki Walker, Cheraw Gymnastics Head Coach & Director, said, "Cheraw Gymnastics proudly chose to use GK again for our competitive gymnastics attire because of the great customer service and competitive pricing! I was looking for a new team leotard over the summer and met GK Gymnastics Sales Representative, Amanda Banks, at the Region 8 Congress in Nashville. She was so patient with me as I changed my mind almost every day on the leotard colors. Even when I returned home, she helped me every step of the way as we designed the leotard, sized my team, and placed our order. She even helped me get dealer status so that I could order the same design in a sleeveless leotard for my junior team at the dealer price! When the girls saw the new leotards for the first time, their response was priceless! I can honestly say that I have a very happy Junior and Senior team! We recently debuted our new leotards in competition and we got wonderful comments from coaches, judges, and parents! I tried two other companies before GK and I can honestly say that GK provides the best customer service and their Sales Reps are top notch! I am thankful to have GK and Amanda Banks outfitting my Gym Champs team!"
 
For the Senior Team, Cheraw's chose GK's Asymmetrical Flame Competition Gymnastics Leotard 7546, an asymmetrical competitive gymnastics leotard featuring two-tone design, off-set back, and a unique binding strap on the right shoulder.  For fabrics, Cheraw chose Black Mystique, Blue Raspberry Mystique, and Vinca Mystique.  Brilliance SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS were added to the binding strap and body appliques.  The same fabrics were then used to create a custom tank gymnastics leotard for the Junior Team.  The tank leo design echoes the style of the long sleeve competition leotard with an asymmetrical neck, binding strap, and body appliques.

GK Helps Newtown Gymnasts Pay Tribute to Sandy Hook Elementary School

Early in 2013, Melissa Zigmont, a teacher at Newtown High School contacted GK Elite Sportswear with a request that she hoped would bring some joy back to her students' lives in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy.  With the faculty, staff, and community trying to promote healing in any and every way, Ms. Zigmont had the idea of a competition leotard for the Newtown Varsity Gymnastics Team that could somehow pay tribute to the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School.  Her idea was a competition gymnastics leotard with "S H E S" down the left sleeve.  A simple, yet moving tribute that the gymnasts could display during competition at home and away meets.

GK was eager to help with the hope-filled project of Ms. Zigmont.  Marian Wanner, GK Gymnastics Customer Service Supervisor, contacted Ms. Zigmont and the two worked together to create a new competitive gymnastics leotard in the Newtown High School colors with the essential customization of the sleeve.

GK's Mystique & Velvet Long Sleeve Gymnastics Leotard 5830ST was the perfect choice. Created with Sapphire Velvet and Gold Mystique fabric, the leotard was perfect for the Newtown High School colors and Marian hustled to the warehouse to check the in stock inventory.  After pulling the necessary leotards, "Newtown" was embroidered on the front chest in Gold Glimmer thread.  Finally, the most poignant feature of this very special leotard was applied, the initials S H E S on the upper left sleeve in Royal Sequinz.  This simple gesture, as it sparkles at competitions this season, will not only be a gentle reminder of the countless lives that were changed that December day, but will also be an enduring tribute to the glimmer of hope always remains. 

The varsity gymnasts of Newtown were very excited to receive these one-of-a-kind leotards. Ms. Zigmont said, "Thank you GK Elite Sportswear for creating a competition leotard for the Newtown High School Varsity Gymnastics Team.  Your donation was very generous and thoughtful."

Champion Gymnastics Surprised by Sparkly GK Leos

Champion Gymnastics Academy started off their optional season at the Gymnastics in Paradise Invitational in Honolulu, Hawaii, January 11-13, 2013.  Before the season, the gym had ordered new long sleeve GK gymnastics leotards for the team, but kept the design under wraps.  GK boxes arrived at the Stockton, California Gymnastics Facility much to the delight of the athletes.  Jennifer Krause, owner of Champion Gymnastics, said, "Our team had no idea what leotards we selected for the optional season, so it was a total surprise.  They were really excited to see all of the sparkly jewels on them.  They are really pretty!"

Champion Gymnastics chose GK's Dramatic Bodice Detail Competition Leotard 7553 featuring a classic neckline.  Next, three beautiful shades of blue fabric were chosen for the leotard, Electric Turquoise Mystique, Columbia Blue Sparkle & Radiant Royal Sparkle.  Champion modified the sleeves, taking them up to 3/4 sleeves and adding a turned-up hem.  The bodice design was then dramatized with hundreds of clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS on the front and back of the leotard.  The final touch - a jeweled GK logo! These athletes will not be missed on the competition floor. Good luck this season ladies!  Keep us posted with your results!
