Will it help me float?
Also, do you take Western Union money transfer?
Thought better of making light of something that these people have worked so hard for.

No doubt many people worked really hard to make a better suit. My critical humor is aimed at those that decided not to test the equipment prior to competition. I don’t think (m)any elite athletes would choose to use something new on the biggest race of their life.
If what I read is correct, I feel really bad for the athletes. What I read said that they had access to the suits for their last competition, but wanted to save then as a secret weapon for the Olympics.
Rule #1: Never make changes on race day.
This is an epic fail on the coaches part. Sad. Just sad. Almost as bad as Carter’s boycott. This may have been the only shot for some of these skaters.
Are we still blaming the suits? Read a few things that a few athletes and former coaches, etc are focused in on the idiocy of making the “first test drive” be the F’ing OLYMPICS! At least put the damn things on in training a few times. Seems like the blame is coming off of the design, more on the logistical decision.

In all honesty, I don’t think the suits are to blame, unless they were extremely restrictive or uncomfortable. I haven’ read or heard that that’s the case here. Something was just off in a training cycle, sea-level preparedness…something. If the U.S. skaters were off the podium by hundreths of a second…maybe then.
But send some my way and I’ll alter them to work for long sleeve triathlon suits!
