Talking Point: What do you think of the German Olympic gymnasts wearing unitards to fight sexualisation?

The German women’s Gymnastics team opted to wear full length unitards to the Olympics in a fight against sexualisation in the sport.

Women have traditionally worn short leotards to compete, while male counterparts have been able to wear unitards.

Three-time Olympian Elisabeth Seitz said: “We wanted to show that every woman, everybody, should decide what to wear.”

What do you think of the decision? Do you think athletes should be able to decide what they wear?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and we might feature your answer on the Evening Standard website tomorrow.
