another updated Men’s Gymnastics uniform
TURN has had a special idea in its vaults since 2019. A close friend of TURN, Orion Wells, was responsible for all the initial research for the development of a “modern gymnastics uniform” concept. After much surveying, discussion and examination – the prototype was conceived and a graphic artist brought it to two dimensional life (see below).

Fred Richard’s NEW competition wear?
Personally, I’m all for INNOVATION in our sport. Kudos to Fred for putting himself out there with his Winter Cup look.
That said, I can’t see how baggy clothing can work in Artistic Gymnastics. Tight fitting clothing allows the judges to more correctly assess FORM and LINE.

male gymnasts with tattoos
A history by zhoxxyy.

If I remember correctly, Marcel Nguyen was the first to compete with very visible tattoos. I was second and right after me, it was Casimir. We were the first ones to roll up our sleeves (so to speak) at a major competition.
… After Marcel secured a silver medal at the Olympics, many athletes started thinking “if he can achieve Olympic success with his arm adorned in ink, it must be permissible.” This prompted a substantial shift within the sport. Kind of proud to be one of the first gymnasts who played a role in such a major shift in the sport.
