The German women's gymnastics team wore full-body suits in qualifications at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday after saying their fashion choice went against the sexualisation of their sport and showed that women could wear what they choose.

The team, composed of Sarah Voss, Pauline Schaefer-Betz, Elisabeth Seitz and Kim Bui, opened their Olympic performance on the asymmetric bars wearing red and white unitards, which are combined leotards and leggings extending to the ankles.

The Germans wore the full-body suits at the European championships in April in a move that was broadly praised by other female gymnasts.

These same women crying about uniforms be the same ones looking at male swimmers

Wait... it's not just all about the medals?

This is the same countries that allowed firing women from their job because they wore a headscarf

Kudos to the team.

I really liked frances body suit. Like i would wear a skirt over but i loved. Germans looked freaking amazing though. Good cut and shape.

Can’t wait to see the Nutcracker ballet performed in 1890 swim gear! I didn’t realise there were so many perverts out there glaring at athletes inappropriately. Seriously, need to look close at people making these decisions. Has anyone asked athletes what they prefer?

The hypocrisy is real on this one, so women can wear whatever they want? Just as long as they are not Muslim women?

Good choice

Well done

Who cares

Throw hair coloring, hair dyeing and the factor of natural mixed haired, we are not shure how many true brown haired people's are still in germany.

IMO, wearing a full-body uniform changes nothing. If someone’s gonna lust after them..they will. Is this uniform “in better taste”? Perhaps. Are they still incredibly talented and graceful? Yep! But will it keep a perv from being a perv? Probably not.

Right On ✊

Let focus on sports only .

It is really weird that a man try to relief his sexual intensity by watching Olympic games. Apparently men should choose some better way to deal with their “hypoxia except private part' problem.

Totally support it. I always thought about it is it really necessary to always wear sparkly clothing, that too just girls. Why can’t there be uniformity?

It's about time. Bravo!

TeejCarlson Italia8181 love this!!!!

Wear what they are comfortable in, only he perverts will complain

They look so professional in their new outfits! Well done GER

Good idea

Uniformity is now rebellious? Then why not a burka? Does the team now do a goose stepping floor routine? Can't wait to see what bosh the Reuters Twits spoon feed us next.

That's how it should be

That's good if they're comfortable
