Madalyn Grace is a 12-year-old gymnast who currently trains at Metroplex Gymnastics in Allen, Texas.  Madalyn recently took home 1st place on Floor at the Texas State Level 6 Meet.  She also earned a 6th place title on vault and 10th on beam.  What makes Madalyn's medals all the more sweeter is the road she traveled to get them. 

Just about a year and a half ago, in September of 2011, Madalyn had a tragic fall during competition.  While performing on bars, Madalyn began to execute her fly-away dismount and things went horribly wrong.  In shock and not fully realizing the extent of her injuries, Madalyn stood up, saluted the judges, and asked her coach, "is that going to be a big deduction?"  After that, Madalyn crumpled to floor.  Realizing both of her arms were most likely broken, medical staff on site splinted and taped her arms for the trip to the hospital. 

Madalyn and her mom, Alicia, scored one heck of a driver to the hospital, none other than Nastia Liukin herself with Nastia's mom, Anna, along for the ride. Alicia said, "Anna and Nastia actually drove us to the hospital.  Anna stayed with me to get Madalyn checked in and then she and Nastia graciously went and got me something to eat and returned with food for me and a life size Minnie Mouse for Madalyn!"  Madalyn ended up having surgery on both arms three days later.

Alicia didn't know for sure if Madalyn would ever return to the sport of gymnastics, but soon Madalyn expressed how she missed the sport, she missed her friends, and she missed being in the gym, as any gymnast can relate.  Madalyn made her competition comeback in the fall of 2012 and competed as a Level 6.  Alicia said, "Madalyn overcame and conquered her fears and her doubts.  She is an inspiration to me and I am so proud of her as an athlete and as a young lady who has drive and passion. Her smile says it all." 

GK is proud to be the choice of champions like Madalyn & Nastia!

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.

GK is delighted to announce the addition of Gabrielle Douglas to its premier roster of GK Champions. In July of 2012, Gabrielle, who is coached by Liang Chow at Chow's Gymnastics in Des Moines, Iowa, became the first African-American gymnast in Olympic history to become the Individual All-Around Champion as well as the first American gymnast to win the gold medal in both the Individual All-Around and the Team Competition during the same Olympic Games. 

As a GK Champion, Gabrielle joins an elite group of gymnastic champions, past and present, who choose GK.  Gabrielle will beautifully sport GK gymnastics apparel at events, grace GK catalogs, and will promote GK across social medial and advertising campaigns.

Probably the most exciting part of Gabrielle signing on to be a GK Champion - the Gabrielle Douglas Signature Collection of gymnastics leotards!  The first six leotards of the Signature Collection by Gabrielle Douglas, designed by the gold medalist, will be available for sale in 2013 at www.gkelite.com.

"I am so honored and excited to have my own line of leotards with GK,” said Gabrielle.  “Expressing my personality and love for gymnastics through this leotard collection is a great way to share my creative ideas.  I will be really proud when I see other gymnasts wearing my designs to practice!”

Gabrielle's Signature Collection follows the success of the Gold Medal Signature Collections by 2008 Olympic All-Around Champion Nastia Liukin and 2008 Olympic Balance Beam Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson.  Gabrielle's Signature Collection will join GK’s Alexandra Raisman collection announced earlier this year and continue the same brilliant combination of the design and manufacturing expertise of GK and the artistic vision and unique perspective of a top athlete in the sport of gymnastics.

Kelly McKeown, Executive Vice President of Corporate Relations & Design at GK said, "Gabrielle Douglas exudes excitement when doing gymnastics. Her energy and performance put a smile on your face when you watch her. Her new Signature Collection captures this same energy with colorful fabrics and playful designs. We are so excited for the upcoming launch of her line that is co-branded with GK.”

GK and Unite for HER, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing breast cancer programs and initiatives, are pleased to once again partner in BRAvado, an inspired art auction fundraiser dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness.  Joining the event in support of the cause are 2008 Olympic All-Around Champion, Nastia Liukin, 2008 Olympic All-Around Silver medalist, Shawn Johnson, and the most decorated gymnast in US history, Shannon Miller.  These well-known gymnasts have shown their support for the cause by designing one-of-a-kind GK sports bras to offer at a silent auction to raise funds for Unite for HER breast cancer programs and initiatives.

Interested parties can view and bid on the uniquely decorated sports bras from these and other notable gymnasts at the Pink Invitational gymnastics meet on February 24-26, 2012 at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Nastia Liukin’s “Give Hope Another Try” design is decorated with the message of “There is Hope,” set off by two large gems and hot pink feathers.  Two sparkly tulle bows accent the straps and two delicate pink ribbons and more gems line the bottom. 

This is the second year of GK's partnership with Unite for HER, which, in addition to the co-sponsorship of BRAvado, also includes support of the 2012 Pink Invitational, an outreach gymnastics meet presented by Unite for HER. 2012 also marks the 8th year that GK has taken a stand against breast cancer.  Kelly McKeown, Executive Vice President of Design and Corporate Relations for GK said, "With our large target audience of young, female athletes, GK realizes the unique opportunity and responsibility it has to help raise awareness about breast cancer.  It gives us great pride to partner once again with Unite for HER, and we eagerly look forward to another successful year at the Pink Invitational raising funds for the cause!"

 

Shawn Johnson’s “Be Free” sports bra is covered in hopeful messages of grace, strength, peace, and joy with bright and colorful abstract hearts and flowers with a bit of sparkle.  Shannon Miller’s “Bold & Brave” design is dyed black and covered with circle and square shaped mirrored pieces of varying sizes that provide a beautiful contrast to the iconic pink ribbon signifying breast cancer awareness.

“Words alone cannot express how grateful we are for the commitment GK has made over the years to women affected by breast cancer.  They continue to amaze and inspire us with their dedication and unwavering support.  Each year around this time, we create new ways to educate and empower our community of young women about breast cancer and our BRAVADO outreach is a symbol - "Pure LOVE and JOY.”  Our celebrity designers and artists are truly inspiring, whose creativity is embraced by our gymnastics community directly impacting the healing programs and initiatives of Unite for HER.  As you can see, we are not in this alone.  We are blessed beyond words for the continuous support of GK,” said Unite for HER founder, President, and breast cancer survivor, Sue Weldon.

Nadia, 6 years old from Springfield, Massachusetts told GK, "I got the Nastia leo from my Mom and Dad.  I like the yellow on my leo!"  We like the yellow on your GK gymnastics leotard too, Nadia!  Keep up the good work at New England Air Time Gymnastics!
 

Browns Gymnastics, a Jr. Olympic Training Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, operates under a concise mission statement and philosophy, "to build self-confidence through fitness and fun."  That philosophy has paid off in spades at Browns producing gymnastic champions at all levels, full college scholarship winning gymnasts and more than their fair share of elite gymnasts.  Browns recently hosted their annual Lady Luck Invitational, a qualifying event for the prestigious Nastia Liukin Cup, where one of their own will be headed in early March to compete.  GK is both pleased and proud that the champions at Browns choose GK. 

For the upper level competitors, a custom competition GK leotard was created, similar in style to GK's Asymmetrical Neckline Competitive Gymnastics Leotard 9554 with an asymmetrical back.  The stunning 3/4 sleeve leo is made of Red Mystique, Black Mystique and Black Mesh fabric.  Since this is Vegas, the leo sparkles in a major way with Browns Las Vegas scripted on the front and back of the leotard in Clear and Ruby Crystals. 
The younger athletes at Browns sport GK's Special Order Sleeveless Tank Gymnastics Leo WL311 in Black Shimmer with Red Shimmer inserts.  The leo is accented with Rich Red Velvet Piping. To add some sparkle, BROWNS is spelled out on the back of their leotards in Clear jewels.  

Nastia Liukin's Gold Medal Collection for GK's Spring 2012 Workout Essentials stays true to her fashion inspired designs creating gymnastics workout leotards that really stand out.  Put the wow in your spring workout with one of these beautiful gymnastics leotards.  Take your pick from classic to trendy!
