In an exclusive interview with Inside Gymnastics, Olympic Medalist, Frederick Richard, talks about his decision to create a new men's gymnastics uniform, his plan for the upcoming Xfinity U.S. National Championships, winning an NCAA National Title with Michigan, and more!
At Winter Cup in February, Richard debuted a new free-fitting uniform that could be seen as more inclusive, and resembles a basketball uniform. “The goal is, everybody should be comfortable, confident,” he said. “I compete with confidence every time I compete. If someone looks at me and sees how I compete, they’re gonna say, ‘You’re a confident competitor. You’re always having fun, you’re always happy.’ I wanted a uniform to reflect that, and I wanted the freedom to have the uniform that would reflect that for you. So if someone else wants this old uniform to stop, they have that now.”
