GK Gymnastics Apparel Model, Kalon Ludvigson, named "Hunk of the Day"

Filed under "hottie" on the 93.1 Kiss FM website in El Paso, Texas, is Kalon Ludvigson, one of GK's most recognized men's gymnastics catalog models.  In addition to his "hunkiness," Kalon is also one of the top tumblers in the United States having won 10 national titles, 15 World Cup medals, and four World Championship medals.  After a change in the Code of Points, Kalon reset the world record in October 2011 for degree of difficulty in one pass with a 13.2.  Take a look at Kalon breaking the record...

In 2009, he became the first U.S. male tumbler in a decade to win a gold medal at a World Cup event, and in 2011 he repeated that feat.  He is also the the first male tumbler to win the FIG World Cup Series for tumbling.  Kalon recently told USA Gymnastics, that despite all of his success [he] has his eyes set on achieving even more.  "I want to be world champion," he said.  Outside of the gym, Kalon is pursuing a degree in pharmacy at Idaho State University. 

Well Kalon, it doesn't hurt to look good while achieving your dreams!  Good luck on reaching your goals and congrats on being named "Hunk of the Day! 

Be sure to look for Kalon at the U.S. Elite Challenge, March 29-April 1, 2012 and in our 2011 Men's Competitive Gymnastics Catalog

GK Ladies' Unitards and Men's Competition Shirts and Pants Showcased at La Biennale di Venezia

GK Elite gymnastics apparel was featured this past month at the "Gloria" art exhibit at the 54th La Biennale di Venezia, a bi-annual gathering of artists in Venice which was organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  The exhibit was created by Allora and Calzadilla and combines performance, sculpture, video, and sound elements.  The event exhibited U.S. male and female gymnasts, including 2007 U.S. All-Around Champion David Durante and 2008 Olympic silver medalist Chellsie Memmel, wearing GK Ladies' Unitards and men's Competition Shirts and Pants.

Male gymnasts such as David Durante showed off their quick movements and power in the Body in Flight (American) exhibition which used elite business class seats to imitate pommel horses.  For his routine, David wore a  GK Men's Competition Shirt style 1963 in red with white piping.  Click here to explore all of the competitive men's gymnastic apparel that GK has to offer.

When we asked David Durante about his thoughts on the Venice Biennale he remarked, "Being that the Venice Beinnale is the pinnacle of the contemporary art world, it is only fitting that GK came on board to provide the gymnastics uniforms for the performers of the Body in Flight pieces.  They make the best and most comfortable uniforms I've ever worn and wearing the USA across my chest again for this event brought me back to my competition days when I was a part of Team USA.  They went out of their way to provide a variety of unique styles for both the men and women that brought the whole American exhibit to another level."

Olympic medalist Chellsie Memmel and other elite female gymnasts performed in the Body in Flight (Delta) exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia wearing GK Ladies' Unitards.  An airline seat replica was created by the artists to represent a balance beam on which the gymnasts executed routines using their flexibility and fluidity.  Chellsie performed in the unitard version of the GK Symmetrical V Neck Competition Leotard style 9559, which is featured on the cover of the 2011-2012 Competitive Wear catalog as "Nastia Liukin's Leotard Choice".  Create your very own Special Order leotard like the one worn by Chellsie Memmel by clicking here.
