Notes

London 2012, leotard worn by Rosie MACLENNAN (CAN), trampoline Olympic champion. Competing in the Olympic Games for the second time, Rosie MacLennan won Canada’s only gold medal in gymnastics with a score of 57.305 in the trampoline event. While her accomplishment brought national pride, some were disappointed at the lack of originality in the maple leaf uniform. Athlete donation
