TOKYO (Reuters) - German gymnast Kim Bui wore a unitard in the women's all-around final. Her team mate Elisabeth Seitz chose not to.

"I just stood in front of my cupboard and there was a unitard and there was a traditional one," Bui, 32, said. "I just decided for the unitard because today I thought I felt more comfortable with a unitard."
