On GymNiceTic I saw the news that our Worlds Silver medalist from 2010 has his own line of Adidas garb.
Click PLAY or watch his Adidas TV ad on YouTube.
The German male gymnasts seem to be doing alright, even if nobody seems to be able to market the American MAGs.
… Check the many comments on that link. Or the same discussion on Tony Retrosi’s Gymnastike post – The Marketing of Men’s Gymnastics
To help the MAG cause, I voted for Leyva over Wieber and Ohashi on the next Inside Gymnastics magazine cover.

I’m a big fan of 17yr-old Courtney’s blog – Keeping Balance.
A gymnast’s journey through the intricate world of gymnastics, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
She’s very eloquent on the love / hate relationship many girls have with the sport.
This post is a perfect example – Leotard Memories

Who are Gym Crew?
USA Team member Chris Brooks and friends. Trying to make gymnastics and parkour cool, with cool clothing.
Gym Crew began with a promise among friends that when we were done with our competitive gymnastics careers, we would start a company that would impact the free running and gymnastics world in a positive way. We all came from different backgrounds, but what we all had in common was the love of gymnastics and a great respect for each other. In 2008 GymCrew was founded by Mubarak Abdullah, Taqiy Abdullah, Cody Trobaugh, Kerry Adderly, David & Jamie Henderson. Gym Crew was a way for us to stay involved with the sport and to create a gymnastics and free running apparel company.
I’ll never forget Taqiy Abdullah winning NCAA Championships in 2007. I wasn’t even watching him for the all-around. That was one fantastic meet for him.
In the beginning there was no premeditated business plan, just a goal of building a brand. We would travel around the world, trying to sell our apparel, meeting with club owners and getting to know them. Currently we are providing club owners and retail stores with new products to sell in their shops.
