I didn't mind the US one much last night watching everything, although looking at the pictures I don't like how it cuts off randomly everywhere. Don't hate it, but it's not my favorite.

I didn't like China's, I just prefer more athletic looking styles, but they weren't excessively unfortunate or anything.

I really like Russia`s leos. Also especially the one Kramarenko wore in floor finals.
I also saw a really nice one for just a moment on TV. I think it was the one of the Czech gymnast - Palesova.

I agree! Shawn's from Beam Finals was beautiful. Nastia's was great for her, but not many people can pull off white...
Can you actually buy either of them or something very similar?

Did anyone notice that the USA team leos they wore for team finals say 'usa' on the upper left shoulder? It's kind of swirly writing, and I did not even see it the first time I saw the leos.

Clever, but still not my fave.

I really liked France's prelims leos:

I didn't like China's... Not too unfortunate, but kind of distracting.

Spain - Yuck.

I noticed lots of pink. Yeah, I mean it makes you look graceful like a ballerina, but really?
