Elite  3277     Minnetonka |  Subject: Are the uniforms too small?There is a girl I work with who seems to tell me every day that what the olympians are wearing is just too small, and she doesn't like it. Especially the track and field girls and the beach volleyball girls. I appreciate their athletic bodies, and I think the small uniforms are functional for their sport... What do you think? |

I think we should go back to the uniforms they wore when the olympics first started. |

Thanks for coming everyone! |

Master 2010 Falls Church, VA | Subject: RE: Are the uniforms too small? In beach volleyball, the women must wear bikinis and the men wear shorts and tank tops. The regulations for the beach volleyball uniforms are set by FIVB, which is , of course, a bunch of old men. |

Special dispensation for chilly London weather. Seriously. Google it! On a side note, I saw a photo essay about the hand signals the volleyball players use. At least that's how the presented it, but 90% of the pictures of the behind the back hand signals were close ups of tone female backsides in tiny bikini bottoms. Win! |

| Master 1895 | Subject: RE: Are the uniforms too small? I don't know how the female swimmers aren't popping out of the tops of their swim suits. I don't think anyone with a b-cup or larger could wear one. That being said...I was wondering why the long shorts? I feel like I'm watching swimmers from the 1920's. |

I'm guessing it's probably because she couldn't pull off wearing them and therefore, they're too small for anyone to wear? |
