Acrobatic Gymnasts - 10mm Crystal Size

“British Gymnastics have now confirmed that the FIG rule regarding the size of diamantes on leotards (10mm diameter) will be phased in this cycle (2025-2028) for NDP and FIG National Events. The Technical Committee will not penalise the gymnasts this cycle. Gymnasts competing internationally (outside of the UK) need to be aware that if they have leotards with diamantes bigger than 10mm they can be deducted.”

We now provide the crystal size of all hire leotards on our website. If you require a leotard with crystals 10mm or under, please ensure you book one which confirms this size on the product page. We will not be able to change crystals without agreement prior to booking.  

Any cancellations due to crystal size will follow our Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy. No refund can be provided for leotards worn in competition that result in deduction.

*Partnership - for the avoidance of doubt, is defined as 1 entry in 1 category. For example 1x Grade 5 WG. Using the leotard for Balance & Dynamic is permitted. A gymnast from this G5 WG also using it for a G4 WP they compete in, is not permitted. For rhythmic & aerobic gymnasts, "partnership" would be the individual gymnast.
