Are the uniforms too small? (Page 2)

That's what I don't get. Why not just wear something....... not white? The first 10 times I looked at this suit I thought it was pubic hair showing through. 

And I guess the extra drag of 2 suits didn't matter? So confused on that one. 

I'm sure it is a liner to the shorts... they all have them.

Most of Arena's PowerSkin suits have liners (I don't know about the TYR and Speedo lines. In any case though, swimmers can wear ONLY approved brands and models of suits.) The tech fabric actually has carbon fibre in it and it's better performing in terms of compression, stretch, and hydrophobicity at a very specific weave and thickness ... which makes it see-through, even the black ones. So the suits have liners (similar material) in an old-style Speedo-shape in both the men's and women's suits.

I thought she was talking about his face

Be careful what you ask for, seeing Lisa's pic below might require me to grab a chlorine tablet from the pool and scrub my eyes for a while.

Am I the only one who keeps seeing a different picture every time I look at this thread?  Seriously, I know it was originally three American swimmers, but then it was a very attractive woman in a sexy, low-cut black and white dress standing on a street.  And now it's a man and woman dressed in black leather holding their hands up in the air in front of fire.  I think I'm losing it.

I find it ironic that the examples of the fuller uniforms in the picture include Brazil. Brazil isn't exactly high on the list of "culturally expected/religiously mandated modesty," so in that particular shot, I have to assume there was a choice made based on temperature/weather. 

The photo was probably chosen as a way to illustrate the different suits in one frame. I still doubt you'll see many podiums from teams where the less revealing uniform is mandated. I don't think of those places as beach volleyball powerhouses. But what do I know, I never would have picked Latvia as a contender either. 

agree

LoL women complaining about small uniforms, how do u think david boudia feels?

Sexy.

Oh yeah. Suddenly, I feel a great liking for whatever sport he does.

Look at the mens diving "uniforms"

you can see what religion they are

That's exactly what the first picture on this page is.

God bless them.

Someone once said to me "imagine those are your daughters in those uniforms" speaking of the ladies beach volleyball, which by the way I am a huge fan of.

My response?  "If I looked at every woman as if they were my daughters.....then I would never have had my daughters."
