Yesterday the United States Women’s Gymnastics team took home the gold. At the team final for the 2012 Olympics in London, the 'Fab Five' girls dominated their routines and won by a staggering 5 points. And they did it all in American-made leotards from GK Elite Sports in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Both the Women and Men’s United States Gymnastics teams competing in the 2012 Olympics are suited up in leotards made by GK Elite. The company's website details a quality product that bears the American-made seal.

“Elite Sportswear, L.P. is proud to have been chosen by adidas® to manufacture the US National Team Competitive apparel for USA Gymnastics since 2000 and is the sole producer of adidas® brand gymnastics apparel worldwide. Based in Reading, Pennsylvania, Elite Sportswear, L.P., the company behind the GK brand, continues its commitment to American-made quality and continuous innovation in designs for Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Dance and Drill Team apparel.”

The company also dresses several other gymnastic champions including Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin, both of whom medaled during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The GK Elite Sportswear leotards are also worn by several other countries.

The fact that GK Elite Sportswear’s products are bought throughout the world and worn by American athletes in the Olympic Games proves that American-made brands and companies can be prosperous both at home and abroad with a quality product and hard work.
