We can choose what to wear

Sarah Voss's full-body suit at the European Artistic Gymnastics Championships has defied convention.

Women and girls have usually only covered their legs in international competition for religious reasons.

Voss, from Germany, was supported by her country's gymnastics federation and said she was proud of her decision.

"We hope gymnasts uncomfortable in the usual outfits will feel emboldened to follow our example."
