Simone Biles along with the other elite gymnasts will represent the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympics donning leotards worth $3,000 each. Biles will be accompanied by Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera, Joscelyn Roberson, and Leanne Wong.
The American gymnasts will be seen sporting diamond-studded leotards, radiating elegance and sparkle with every move in their routine. The dazzling leotards are designed and produced by the GK elite and were revealed in collaboration with USA Gymnastics on July 10, 2024.
Among the multiple leotards, the red, white, and blue leotard, representing the national flag stands out with its vibrant scheme. According to Fortune, although the leotards are not for sale, each of them cost $3,000. Each of them is encrusted with almost 10,000 Swarovski crystals.
The leotards to be worn by the American squad at the 2024 Paris Olympics will outshine the stunning creations donned by Gabby Douglas and Nastia Liukin. While Douglas donned a leotard featuring 1,188 gems during the 2012 London Olympics, Liukin was seen sporting a leotard with 184, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The 'Go for Glory Competition leotards', as they are called, weighing 0.80 pounds will pay tribute to the 'Magnificient Seven' team's outfit, who clinched the first-ever team Olympic gold medal by any female gymnastics team in American history at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
A few days back, Simone Biles, along with her teammates revealed the leotards to the fans.
Simone Biles' performance at the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Trials records the highest-watched event
Simone Biles earned the berth to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics after dominating two events at the 2024 U.S. Olympics Gymnastics Trials, held at the Target Center in Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Biles' qualification performance was witnessed by around 7.6 million viewers on NBC and Peacock, making it the most-watched Olympic Trials telecast since 2016 (8.6 million viewers). Her performance's viewership was followed by Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's viewership, who set a new world record in the 400m hurdles event by clocking an impressive 50.65 seconds.
After securing four Olympic gold in the team, all-around, vault, and floor exercise, a bronze medal in balance beam at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and a silver and bronze medal in the team and balance beam events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles will be seen competing in the French capital, making her third appearance at the Games.
