Gymnast Sarah Voss competing in tracksuit: “Sports don’t give sexual messages”

A very young voice out of the chorus. Sarah Voss, German artistic gymnast, she is only 21 years old, but she has managed to capture all the attention of the web in the last few hours. The reason? At the European Championships in Basel she presented herself with an elegant long-leg leotard and not with the classic one, up to the groin. Not a small revolution in the way of artistic gymnastics.

THE MESSAGE – There is a specific message behind this gesture. “The short suits” – he explained – “They are similar to swimwear and can be considered provocative on the outside and shame the wearer, also because of the movements we have to make. Not all gymnasts feel comfortable in high-leg leotards, there are movements and tools that can be uncomfortable. We decided to show that a gymnast can be elegant, strong and expressive even when wearing a onesie. It shouldn’t be a problem to deviate from normality, the important thing is to feel good about yourself. In the finals of the next few days, my mates Eli Seitz and Kim Bui will also wear their new long-leg leotards ”.

THE CHARACTER – Born in 1999, Sarah Voss was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and is the German national champion 2019. 21 years old, university student (as we read on social media), 12.4 thousand followers on Instagram and a photo album dedicated to her great passion: artistic gymnastics. A compilation of racing and training photos. Acrobatics, handstand, stretching, plank and splits. All seasoned with a smile and two splendid blue eyes.
