I say they take out the unfair advantage of the new swim suits, and go back to a naked olympics!

The only competitions I’m really concerned about are the so-called “artistic” equestrian competitions (I could see artistic in dressage, but in jumping it’s all about how fast and clean you can go). Black coat with tails, white breeches, top hat for dressage, red coat, white breeches, black helmet for jumping. Totally traditional. Unless you’re a weird country like Brazil that wears forest green instead.

If your country is “so poor” or even the individual that you can’t fork out 500 dollars, then you probably shouldn’t be wasting your time going to the olympics and probably should be at work.

They’re making a big deal about reducing the weight of the basketball uniforms by using less fabric – but the “shorts” still go down to their knees. They could really cut the weight down by going old school.

“Pictured is NBA star Yi JianLian in his Olympic uniform.”

Uhh no, he is not an NBA star. More like a benchwarmer.

Good point, Lisa H.

My guess is that the women’s configuration provides the bigger advantage. But then everybody remembers what Sammy Davis Jr looked like when he pioneered the short-shorts look so they just make the men’s outfits longer.

The thing that always confuses me is the difference between the men’s and women’s shorts. Why are the men’s almost to the knee and the women’s are not much bigger than underwear? I mean, one or the other should be athletically superior, so are the men’s shorts needlessly modest or are the women’s being sexxed up?
