Gymnast
Hi everyone, so this is just an idle question that I'd love to get an answer to. What exactly is the purpose of the different floor and beam shoes/slippers that I've seen some gymnasts wearing? Sarah Finnegan wears little half-shoes, while Ellie Black has full ones, and I even saw a Chinese gymnast wear ankle socks for her routine in the Olympics. I'm not sure why I can't add the images in, but here are links to the ones I'm talking about. Thanks for answering my silly question!
