Here is a selection of leotards from the Training before the start of the Olympic Games. There are a few gems in there. 

AUSTRALIA - See fabulous gallery from The Sydney Morning Herald here. Black mesh sleeves with silver diamantes, green with the Southern Cross on top right hand corner on the front with black and yellow patterning. Quite lovely actually!!
