(Reuters) â Jamaicaâs Danusia Francis said the decision by German athletes to compete in full-body suits at the European Artistic Gymnastics Championships last week was empowering for women.
Sarah Voss donned a full-body suit at the Basel event and was followed by team mates Kim Bui and Elisabeth Seitz. The German Gymnastics Association (DTB) said that the move was a stand against sexualisation in the sport.
âI think itâs amazing,â Francis, who previously represented Britain but will compete for Jamaica at this yearâs Tokyo Games, told the BBC. âI feel empowered that weâve got this option where we can choose to cover up.â
I ve had to play a lot of catch-up, he added.

His bronze, which he won with a triple twisting Tsukahara to score 14.766, is his first major championship medal as a senior gymnast.
He said: For all of us, it was the first competition back since the Covid pandemic, so it was good just to be back out there. We have had in-house competitions, but nothing can replace how it feels to be out there at the European championships, just to be out there, to feel the nerves.
