Red face Olympic Leos

I really love China's leos, i think they really show what their country it like while still looking nice. What do you guys think?

The only other ones i've seen so far were Romania, which i thought was abit boring and i think Germany which had nothing stand out on it.

It would be great if you could post pictures

thanks
Jes

Did Shawn design the US leo?

It's so flattering.

I hate ours and think they're our ugliest Olympic leos ever. I thought the leos from podium training were nice, although I know we wouldn't wear pink in competition for such a major US event, but that style in red would have been really nice (or maybe even white with red and blue crystals).

I agree. I think our leo for prelims is possibly the ugliest leo I have ever seen in a competition. It makes me wonder what people were thinking.

I saw one absolutley awful leotard, it was on a girl from Slovenia (I think) and it was blue lycra with green sparkly bits, except the bit over the chest was skin coloured with strings like a corset, it seemed very inappropriate to me!

Here's a thread that had the story on the Olympic Leos
Olympic Leos for USA --> Design your own leo!
Weve seen the pink one in the picture for podium training and the star one for prelims I wonder which one we see for team finals.....my guess is the blue one
