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.

For training, participants received a GK tank gymnastics leotard with a classic neck line and elegant strappy back. The workout leotards were either Berry Slither with Black Mystique applique and binding, or Black Mystique with Berry Slither applique and binding.  The competition leotard followed suit with equally classic styling.  Each long sleeved leotard was either Berry Slither with Black Mystique applique or Black Mystique with Berry Slither applique.  All of the leotards were perfectly finished with the GK Nastia Liukin logo.

The athletes received a beautiful Black Velvet and Silver Mystique warm up jacket and coordinating black velvet warm-up pant.  The back of the warm up jacket was embellished with the Nastia Liukin Cup name and logo.

Proceeds from the event go to the Nastia Liukin Fund, a charitable fund within the National Gymnastics Foundation with the goal of partnering with fitness-oriented programs for young people and supporting clubs that aid athletes who need financial assistance to remain or become involved in gymnastics.

The 2013 American Cup provided the perfect venue for the premiere of the U.S. National Team's new Under Armour gymnastics competition apparel.  GK Elite has long supported the sport of gymnastics and is honored to partner with Under Armour in manufacturing national team gymnastics apparel for the next eight years.  Katelyn Ohashi & Simone Biles brought home the 1st and 2nd place win for the U.S. at the competition and 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist Kyla Ross was on hand for a beam exhibition.

After premiering Under Armour podium training apparel, the ladies stepped out on competition day in their new Under Armour gymnastics competition leotards and brought home the top two prizes.  Katelyn, Simone, & Kyla all looked beautiful in their long sleeve competitive gymnastics leotards with Berry Mystique bodice, Berry Mesh sleeves, and Steel Mystique appliques over bodice and sleeves.  Brilliance SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS scattered over the front of the leotard and sleeves provided the perfect amount of sparkle.

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 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!

Don't take our word for it, listen to Summer Andrew, Owner of Arizona Dreams Gymnastics Academy, who said, "When I bought a gym last year, I knew that we were going to change the colors. I decided to design a set of sample leos. We ordered the samples early so we could decide if we wanted to change the design. We did decide to re-order & re-design the leos.  I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it went. We had all of our leos in time to compete and didn't need to send any back. I found it very helpful to work with my GK Gymnastics Sales Representative, Lisa Behm.  Lisa helped the order run smoothly and  turn out perfectly. We get countless compliments on our leotards.  Thanks GK!"
