London Olympics 2012 Fashion

There are some confusing apparel changes at this year's Olympics. The women's beach volleyball players are no longer required to wear bikinis, though some choose to for the bottom. Many are wearing full length suits! This is disappointing and takes a lot away from the sport for many male viewers (not me, of course).




The male beach volleyball players can wear the same baggy shirts and long shorts as in previous Olympics.





Then we have the female divers who are in full suits, but male divers are required to wear less than a small speedo. I have yet to figure out how the men cram everything into such a tight space. Must be shrinkage from the cold water? No wonder they jump in a hot tub as soon as they get out of the pool.









Next are the track sprinters with either mini shorts and tops, normal shorts and tops, or full-length body suits?





How about the male swimmers in small but not quite diver size small swim suits, yet the female swimmers get to wear what appear to be speed suits?

The triathletes have one piece suits on. Another reason, besides lack of talent, that I couldn't do that sport. How do they go to the bathroom? Everything has to come off, it would take me 10 minutes to change.

  1. Are the water polo players wearing radios on their heads?

  2. Possibly, or they are WWII fighter pilot helmets. There is a recession going on, why not use the old stuff laying around in warehouses?
