German gymnasts' outfits take on sexualisation in sport

Good for them. Those tiny costumes were uncomfortable, sometimes too revealing - judges even deducted points for......adjustments.

This is the right step for the sport

Until now women and girls have only covered their legs in international competition for religious reasons.

Voss, from Germany, said she was proud of her decision [to wear a full-body suit] and she was supported by her country's gymnastics federation.
Two team-mates then did the same on Friday, wearing full-body suits during the women's all-around final.

The German federation (DTB) said its gymnasts performing in the Swiss city of Basel were taking a stand against "sexualisation in gymnastics", adding that the issue had become all the more important to prevent sexual abuse.
"We hope gymnasts uncomfortable in the usual outfits will feel emboldened to follow our example," said Voss.
