YAY CONGRATS TO THESE VERY TALENTED WOMEN! And props to Hezly Rivera there, who didn't get to compete yesterday but was a very supportive teammate. (And competed in qualifying to help get them there, so gets a gold medal, too.) She's just 16 so will surely be back. I love Jordan Chiles (go Bruins!) levitating back there.

To me this is a CLASSIC American leotard and I love it.
Team Brazil

Team Brazil looks very cute and cool and comfy in their warm-up suits...
Rebeca Andrade of Team Brazil

...and they continue to have GORGEOUS leotards. Rebeca here promises to feature heavily in the All Around competition. She is SO good.
Manila Esposito of Team Italy

CONGRATS TO ITALY on their very exciting win! They didn't go for "flag reference" on their leotards but more for....angelic ice princesses.

A very good use of illusion netting, to be fair.
Team Italy and Team USA

Team USA's velour is pretty classic, but I LOVE Team Italia's warm-up suits. The oversized, branded sweatshirts feel really fresh.
Team Great Britain

A wide variety of footwear on Team GB, who almost snuck in there. (I suspect they need a little more difficulty in their routines.)
Alice Kinsella of Team GB

This is a very pretty leotard, but doesn't SCREAM "Great Britain" to me. Has anyone considered doing something that recalls Ginger Spice's sequined Union Jack mini?
Team Canada

On the other hand, Canada is like MAPLES LEAVES ARE HERE!!! I think these leotards are fantastic. (I like a literal leo, okay??)
Ava Stewart of Team Canada

It's also just clever to see all these maple leaves SWIRLING IN THE AIR.
Team Japan

I love how the Japanese women introduced themselves with real flair.
Mana Okamura of Team Japan

And although this is not a strictly on-the-nose leotard, I think it's SO pretty.
Luo Huan of Team China

I didn't get a shot of the Chinese women introducing themselves, and they had a tough go yesterday. But their leotards are so pretty!
Yaqin Zhou of Team China

This might actually be my favorite ones.

Romania has also sort of fallen off the height of their dominance -- Nadia Comăneci was in the house, sitting with Serena Williams, and I'm sure she Has Thoughts -- but their leotards are pleasantly funky.
