For the first time in history, the Team USA women's gymnastics leotards are being unveiled prior to Olympic competition. See as Simone Biles and the other team members unbox their uniforms for the first time!
When Simone Biles raises her arms to salute the Olympic judges in Paris this summer, she will be wearing nearly 10,000 hand-placed crystals weighing almost a pound. Gymnastics leotards are expected to reflect grit and grace, withstand triple-twisting double flips and stand up to the bright spotlight of the Olympic Games. Much like the intensive training process leading up to the Games, creating show-stopping Olympic leotards is a rigorous and all-consuming undertaking.
Adding the beads is the most time-consuming phase of manufacturing, and it must be approached with precision to ensure that crystals do not come loose while the gymnasts are competing. The Team Final design pays homage to the iconic leotard the 'Magnificent Seven' wore at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. That was the first U.S. women's gymnastics team to win Olympic gold.
