Longines Prizes … for other things

Longines has a prestigious award for “Elegance” given to a male and female gymnast at the World Gymnastics Championships. (The guys are less pleased to be elegant than the girls.)

Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blanca (MEX) and Daniel Keatings (GBR) won at the last World Championships.
