In less than two seasons on UCLA’s coaching staff, associate head coach Kristina Comforte has had three of her leotard designs featured during Bruins gymnasts’ viral floor routines. There was a high-necked navy blue and gold look, another with white-and-blue ombre sleeves and sparkling crystals with a bold glittering gold.
The newest creation is her favorite. Not only because the black-and-gold leotards the Bruins will wear Saturday against Oregon State are beautiful — with elegant gold patterns, gold trim around the neck and waist and across the collarbone, with diamonds the dotting neck line and sleeves — but because they’re powerful, too.
