With the Olympics in Rio well underway, it’s no surprise that the gymnastic competitions are a must watch for many of us. We all want to become the next Max Whitlock or Amy Tinkler!
Gymnastics has become one of the top three Olympic sports to watch and since the Olympics started it has been said there has been a rise in class sign ups in youngsters wanting to learn this great sport and in others wanting to use this as a great method of exercise.
Our Fitness Gold insurance policy has been created to accommodate the rise in popularity of health, fitness and physical activity groups and classes and we provide cover for many activities as standard.
Olympic costumes over the years
As a bit of fun, we’ve had a look in to one of the most important aspects of any Olympian gymnast – the leotard! With their bright colours, skin-tight material and applied crystals all on a one-piece, leotard designs have become something of a statement over the past 120 years:
1896 – First ever Olympics, unfortunately women weren’t allowed so leotards were a bit different back in the day
1908 – The Danish team wore ‘leotards’ that looked like dresses. This was to avoid any idea about what a female figure looked like.
1948 – Female gymnasts wore leotards close to the style we see today. The fit seemed baggy compared to today and the neckline a bit tighter.
1960 – British gymnasts see a massive change in terms of style and personal choice. They worse leotards with a slight vintage flare and self-expressed with different colours and patterns.
After 1960 – Leotards became more colourful and hi-cut legs became standard. Styles then included tie-dyes with their country flags becoming part of the design.
Today – Leotards range from long sleeves, high necklines and full bottoms to more revealing designs. These designs also vary from full cover crystals to plain and simple with the occasional flag making its appearance.
