Simone Biles always makes a statement on the gymnastics floor, not just with her incredible moves but also with her stunning leotards. One standout moment was her collaboration with GK Elite at the 2023 US Xfinity Gymnastics Championships, where she dazzled in the “But Still I Rise” leotard. Biles and GK Elite have enjoyed a fruitful partnership since 2015, producing numerous themed projects and limited-edition collections throughout the seasons.
Following in Biles’ footsteps, other top gymnasts like Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey have also teamed up with GK Elite. Another notable collaborator is the 2017 United States national all-around champion, who, despite her success and partnership with the brand, has resorted to a unique way of making money: selling her leotards. This has sparked concern among fans about her financial situation.

In a post on X, it was shared that Ragan Smith has “upped her prices, folks.” Smith, a five-time member of the United States team and competitor at the 2017 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Montreal, was also part of the gold-winning US National Team at the 2018 World Championships and an alternate for the 2016 Olympic team. Recently, she has been selling her leotards on Facebook, promoting the sales through her Instagram stories.
