Shannon Miller is the most decorated gymnast in US Olympic history.  She is a gymnastic legend both individually and as a member of the US Women’s Gymnastics Team, fondly referred to as the “Magnificent Seven.”  Her Gold medal on the balance beam at the 1996 Olympic Games marked the first time in history for any American gymnast to capture that particular medal.  During those Games, Shannon led the US Women’s Team to successfully oust the Russian gymnastic dynasty and win Team Gold that year on their home soil of Atlanta, Georgia.  The US Women’s Gymnastics Team had never won Gold even at a World Championship – but that year – they accomplished what no team had been able to do before. 

Four years earlier, at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, Shannon’s tally of five medals was the most medals won by a US athlete in any sport.  According to Shannon, “Representing my country on the Olympic stage was an honor, a privilege and one of the greatest moments of my life.”

Shannon has won a staggering 7 Olympic medals and 9 World Championship Medals, 59 International and 49 National competition medals, over half of which have been gold.  She is the only American to rank among the Top 10 All-Time Gymnasts and is the only female athlete inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame – Twice!  First, in 2006, as an individual athlete and again in 2008, as a member of the Magnificent Seven team.

It’s no surprise that when asked about the design inspiration for her 2012 Legends Collection Leotard for GK, Shannon chose a “modern take” on the 1996 Olympic team leotard.

US Olympic athletes are an inspiration when they don the red, white and blue and represent their country with grace under pressure, in heartbreak, and in success.  Shannon’s Legends Inspired Workout Leotard is the epitome of patriotism.

Her design is rich with Navy Mystique, Red Mystique, and Silver Mystique echoing Old Glory.  The Stars & Stripes motif is perfected with clear rhinestone star transfers over the right side of the front bodice and right shoulder.

Shannon’s gymnastics career and personal life since retiring are reminiscent of the American spirit.  Not long after she and her husband welcomed their adorable son, Rocco, (now 2 years old and currently enrolled in Mommy & Me gymnastics class!)  Shannon was diagnosed with a germ cell malignancy, a rare form of ovarian cancer.  Shannon is now cancer free and she has remained open and public about her diagnosis and treatment.  Shannon is a role model to women everywhere who want to start or continue a healthy lifestyle.  She continues to be an advocate for making health and fitness a priority.  Professionally, Shannon has continued her own brand of success as President of Shannon Miller Lifestyle: Health & Fitness for Women and Host of the Health & Wellness Channel's The Wish List with Shannon Miller, a national show where Shannon makes dreams come true for men, women and children facing life threatening medical conditions.  She also is the Host of the Shannon Miller Lifestyle Radio Show in partnership with St. Vincent's HealthCare discussing a variety of health and fitness issues.  She has authored several fitness and cook books and produced multiple fitness videos and a specially designed work out mat.  Shannon is a sought after professional speaker and health and fitness advocate.

Jim Davie felt very fortunate in 2001 when he was first appointed the GK Distributor for Australia and New Zealand.  At that time, GK was not well known in the two countries because the market was dominated by domestic manufacturers.  Now, with the best product in the world and a lot of hard work, Jim is able to claim that GK is the dominant brand in these markets, and the first choice of the vast majority of gymnasts.

Born in Scotland and educated in Rhodesia, Jim began his career in the field of law, but soon shifted into the business sector. He went on to hold senior marketing positions and was the CEO of major engineering companies in Melbourne, Singapore, and London.

In 1991, Jim established Northpac International, with the goal to import Dancewear and Swimwear from the United States. 

Jim is married and his wife, Brenda, manages the Administrative and Customer Service areas at Northpac.  Together, they have two adult sons, both married, and have 2 grandchildren. Stuart and his family live in Sydney and Andrew and his family live in Houston, Texas.

Jim was recently appointed GK's Co-Coordinator for the West Pacific area, a challenge he relishes due to his history of working in Asia.

The country's best Level 10 gymnasts met and competed at the 2012 U.S. Women's Jr. Olympic National Championships at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton, Virginia on May 11-12, 2012.  Just under the elite level, Level 10 is the highest level in the Jr. Olympics program.  Athletes from each of the eight USA Gymnastics regions came ready to compete.

Continuing a now ten-year tradition, GK supplied gymnastic apparel for the JO athletes including a long sleeve gymnastics leotard and a warm up.  GK representatives were on site in Virginia to hand out the apparel to the athletes.  The athletes were very excited to receive their GK box containing the weekend's wardrobe!

Each athlete received GK's Classic Jeweled Tank Leo Style 3599, from their region in Black Nylon/Spandex, White Sparkle, and one of eight beautiful Mystique fabric colors.  The tank leotard was embellished with their region number in silver sequinz.  For competition, GK supplied the athletes with a Classic Square Neck Long Sleeve Gymnastics Leotard Style 4804, made of Black/Nylon Spandex, coordinating Mystique fabrics, and embellished with Clear Crystals on the front chest.  GK also supplied warm ups for all of the athletes made of Black Stretch Woven, White Stretch Woven, and White Tech Mesh, with their region number on the front and the JO logo on the back of the warm up jacket. 

Connie Maloney, Women's JO Program Director, said, "The USA Gymnastics Jr. Olympic Program has been so fortunate to have a special association with GK Elite Sportswear.  For so many years, GK has outfitted all of the competitors at JO nationals, giving each region its own beautiful colors to identify them.  Thank you, GK, for being such a loyal supporter of our athletes and for always giving us such high quality apparel and top-notch service." 

GK congratulates all of the winners at the Women's 2012 JO's.  Visit the USAG website for complete results and fantastic photographs of the athletes in action in GK gymnastics apparel.  

GK provides gymnastics apparel for all USAG Junior Olympic National Events including, women's, men's, rhythmic, tumbling & trampoline, and acro.  GK has contributed over $3 Million in products in support of hallmark programs like the Junior Olympics. GK is passionate in its support of the sport. This singular focus explains why GK outfits more national teams, more gold medalists and, of course, more gymnasts worldwide.

GK's U.S. Gymnastics Sales Representatives descended upon GK headquarters in April 2012 for their annual sales meeting.  Sales Reps from all over the United States spent three agenda-packed days in Reading, Pennsylvania brainstorming and covering a variety of wide ranging topics.  The gymnastics representatives were very excited to get their hands on a hot-off-the-presses copy of the 2012-2013 Competitive Catalog!

GK has been part of every Olympics since 1992!  For two decades, GK has provided competitive gymnastics leotards, workout wear, and warm ups for artistic gymnastic teams and trampoline teams from all over the world.  The GK Olympic Tradition began at the Barcelona Games. 

GK was awarded the National Team Contract and outfitted the U.S. Olympic Team in competitive apparel for the first time.  GK manufactured both the warm-up and competition apparel for the U.S. Men's and Women's Gymnastic Teams.  As a result, the GK brand appeared on national television.  Pictures of our Olympians wearing the GK logo appeared in national publications and on the cover of "TV Guide."

The whole company was very excited for the Olympics and televisions were set up in conference rooms so employees could watch the games live while taking a break.  Let's take a look back at Shannon Miller in this video montage from the 1992 Barcelona games.  Shannon looks beautiful in GK!

Welcome to Behind the Leo - a weekly spotlight on the GK Gymnastics Apparel worn in each of this season's Make It or Break It episodes.

Tonight, Coach Mac makes no adjustment when transitioning from coaching men's gymnastics to women's, and as a result, his tactics prove ineffective with the girls. Meanwhile, Payson can't escape the lingering ramifications of her kiss with Sasha.

This week the spotlight is on Payson Keeler.

On tonight's episode of MIOBI, Payson will sport this beautiful GK Sporty Wrapped Tank Leo Style 3640, an asymmetrical tank leotard in electric turquoise mystique, silver mystique and navy mystique.

The dramatic and extreme weather of last year inspired the designer of this workout leotard.  Her thoughts of blowing winds, swirling snow squalls, and turning oceans are reflected in her creation.  The design lines wrap around the body like a tornado, a dramatic and stormy sky are reflected in the color choices, and crystals drift across the body like fresh falling snow.  This leotard was designed for the drama of the extreme gymnast!

Tune in for all the drama on Make It or Break It tonight on ABC Family at 9/8c.
