Gymnasts do have long wait periods in between warming up and competing. So I imagine it helps to have something warm covering your legs/arms (depending on if your leo had sleeves) in between your warmup and when you actually got on the apparatus. I also notice they're not always in full warm-up either. First thing they put on is pants..then sometimes the jacket. They also show a bit more leg than we do..and I know when I was younger it made me uncomfortable having that little coverage.
I suppose it helps with the image, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's just a general temp thing as well. Most of those places are FREEZING.
