Healthier Pit Foam. If Brestyan’s would switch to this foam, poor Mihai wouldn’t have to vacuum and worry about his lungs all the time. Carcinogens from flame retardant materials used in pit foam have been found in the blood of college gymnasts. While studies are still pending on the safety of foam, why not switch to Rounders “conical shaped foam that improves airflow and surface contact, resulting in a foam pit that provides a softer, safer landing.” Plus, the “flame retardant cover that further protects the foam from breaking down, which reduces pit dust and improves the life span of your foam pit, making it cleaner, safer and more cost effective.”
Sylvia P Couture Leotards. Hands down, no contest, the most innovative, unique, gym leotards we’ve ever seen. These are made for the runway. Why every national team and NCAA team isn’t wearing their leotards is beyond us. They. Are. Heavenly!
