Choosing the Right Sports Bra for Your Gymnastics Leotard (Part 3): Cut

During competition, it's especially important for the cut of the gymnast's sports bra to match her leotard

If a bra strap pops out during competition, the judges may deduct points from the gymnast's overall score.

These so-called "distraction" deductions are one of the main reasons sports bra manufacturers make bras in different cuts like backless and scoop cut.
