“Explaining their decision, Voss said: ‘We hope gymnasts uncomfortable in the usual outfits will feel emboldened to follow our example.’
Speaking to broadcaster ZDF, she added: ‘We women all want to feel good in our skin. In the sport of gymnastics it gets harder and harder as you grow out of your child’s body.
As a little girl I didn’t see the tight gym outfits as such a big deal. But when puberty began, when my period came, I began feeling increasingly uncomfortable.’” (X)

August 3, 1936: Jesse Owens Breaks Records at Berlin Olympics
On this day in 1936, African American sprinter, Jesse Owens, triumphed at the Berlin Olympics, winning his second of four gold medals at the games and discrediting Adolf Hitler’s theories on the superiority of the Aryan race. While many countries boycotted the Olympic Games that year, the United States brought 312 athletes – 19 African American and 5 Jewish – much to the reluctant approval of the Nazis.
