A Great Moment Demands a Leotard to Match ✨

At the Suzuki World Cup, Turkish athlete Nil Deniz Bal will debut a custom-made leotard by Mai’s, created exclusively for this historic final edition of the event — a competition that comes to an end after more than three decades 🕊️

More than just a design, the leotard carries meaning 🌸 Featuring sakura blossoms and the Japanese inscription “芸道” (Geido), meaning “the way of art,” it reflects a tribute to the host country — symbolizing beauty, discipline, and the fleeting nature of each performance on stage 🇯🇵

Set to “Forged in Fire,” her routine expands this concept into movement 🔥 Built as a metaphor for resilience, rebirth, and inner strength, the choreography draws inspiration from the universe of Game of Thrones ⚔️ Through sharp transitions, controlled explosive elements, and dramatic poses, Nil Deniz Bal embodies a character shaped by transformation — forged, tested, and rising again.

In a competition that marks its final chapter, every detail matters ⏳ From concept to costume, from music to movement, this is more than a routine — it is a statement.

A tribute designed not only to be seen 👀 but to be remembered 💫
