As a former competitive gymnast, I cringe when I see the makeup, jewelry, hair styles and sparkly leotards.
This isn’t the Ice Capades and they look outright gaudy Vegas girls, not like world class athletes.
I love the sparkle!
Excellent observation. I had not thought of that. They also try to make the gymnasts look like little girls. It’s kind of creepy. Perhaps this is more evidence of the sexualization of young girls and children in general.

The girls want to cash her. They give their entire lives to the sport. I’m not criticizing them for marketing.
