Thanks, Speedo, for ruining my Oly Trials!
Quote | Reply
Dear Speedo Corporation:

Every 4 years, I find myself, like the child awaiting Christmas morning, the opening of the men's Olympic swimming trials, and of course, the Games itself. As a very active individual, my life takes a decided turn to couch potatoville in order to watch the action unfold over the next several weeks. is it the blazing times, the world records, the absolute power and ease at which these men perform in the water at incredible speed? of course, and while these are compelling reasons to view, it's not my personal reason.

you see, water sports conglomerate, for me, your average 43 year old American female, it's reallly about the opportunity to watch hot, 20 something year old men with chiseled abs and rippled arms and supple shoulders glistening with chlorinated dewiness, strutting about the pool deck. in short, for many of us females, it's pure and simple swimmer porn. and it really doesn't get much better than the Olympic Trials, well, until this year. yes, dear manufacturer of high-tech aquatic apparel, your "LZR" suit is destroying my ability to enjoy the meet. the simple problem is that, while this "LZR" suit maybe the fastest invention in swimming history and responsible for a gagillion world records since it's inception, the darn thing covers the ENTIRE male body (except the for the neck and some hint of shoulders.)

WTF? who thought THIS would be a good idea, because I can tell you, on behalf of the female viewing audience, it's really a huge design disaster. (personally, i think you should consider firing the designer (and i'm guessing it was a male) of this atrocity. where ARE your priorities?). in case you haven't gotten the picture yet, let me explain in it the briefest terms possible: we want to see Brendan, Aaron, Michael, Ryan, et al unencumbered of this hideous fugly black contraption covering those lovely abs and chests and shoulders. for all that is good and holy, those poor boys worked darned hard for those bodies, and i demand my right to ogle them while slobbering into my Chardonnay!!!

so, Speedo, perhaps you could only supply those "tights" version of the suit for the rest of the week, and in Beijing as well. those are much more acceptable and provide the visual stimulation we ladies desire. or better yet, by Beijing, perhaps you could get rid of that nasty black and silver fabric for something a little more, tasteful. perhaps something like a nice see-though shade of clear? (and maybe put some of that on the butt panels too while you're at it). otherwise, i can pretty much state that the female viewing population of the Olympic swimming events will fall drastically, and you will have no one but yourselves to blame. (i just praise the lord that this LZR travesty was invented after Lenny retired).

sincerely,

Susan Marston

OMG!! You are right on with this. Tho, I haven't had time to try and ooogle the dudes just yet, but bummer if they are totally covered from mid-thigh to neck. Too funny! Thanks for a great end of the day read for me.

Too funny! Last summer Oly's my friend and I were having a phone conversation and watching the mens's swimming at the same time. They showed the hot Australian boy (Thorp?) after one of his heats and as she and I were admiring his yummy abs we both said "lower" to the camera man. Yes, indeed those swimmers are HOT! It is amazing how low their little briefs are.

LMAO! I totally agree! What is the point of having a large screen, hi-def TV if those beautiful boys are all covered up? I also spread the blame to Blue Seventy for supplying equally puritanic cover-ups.

Sto - you crack me up! I truly hope you really sent this off to the El Presidente of Speedo...
As for Thorpe - remember the whole body suit (long arms/full legs) he wore in the last games? Nuns don't wear that much clothing EVER!!

I know. That was mean ... ;-) But, I thought this was the speedo thread! Just trying to help you out!

Back to the original topic, I am secure enough in my masculinity and, with an unblemished record of heterosexuality, have no problem admitting that the male swimmers at the Olympic trials are spectacular. I think swimmers have, arguably, the most attractive body builds. And, the women swimmers ... damn!

I'm glad you are comfortable with your sexuality and can admit the guy swimmers are spectacular. I'm the same way. Those chick swimmers bod's rock my world. If I were gonna play for the other team... I'd be in the pool... ALOT :)

Anywho, it is me or do the female swimmers look a little less "beefy" these days? (CAVEAT: I AM NOT SUGGESTING ANYONE WAS A DOPER). It used to be Amanda Beard was sort of this skinny small shouldered anomoly (maybe its a breast stroke thing, dunno). But after looking at Natalie, and some of the other fast ladies, they don't look so friggin huge. I remember being floored by Amy Van Dyken, Jenny Thompson et al a few years ago, and those chicks were MANSTERS. HUGE shoulders. Arms, just ripped. I know we are all built differently, but I'm sort of surprised at the perceived change. Am I hallucinating or just wasted on Chardonnay? (maybe they don't lift as much as they used to, to grow those guns anymore, and perhaps it was just the sprinters I'm thinking of, but even Katie Hoff don't look so ginormous).

Anyone else?

Hola! I was wondering if you were alive and well.

Thanks for the Phelps pictures, but he's not wearing tiny little briefs...

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least in the diving competition they still wear 'em tiny. But they're nowhere near as hot as the boys who swim fast.

I MISS IAN THORPE and his size-16 feet. Hubba hubba.

Okay, so he raced in the usual "pants" race suit - but I swear he was wearing a Speedo beforehand!

Here are a few swimmers in Speedos...
