Where are all the breasts?
Those who have been watching the swimming at the Olympic Games could be forgiven for asking the obvious question. I mean: what’s happened to women’s breasts? Once, female swimming champions had them, now they don’t. They have broad shoulders and wide chests, but no lumps on them. It’s not quite as it should be. Is it masculinising drugs? Some kind of anti-cosmetic surgery? An early example of massed gene-doping?
No. It’s the Speedo LZR Racer. This is a swim suit that improves your hydrodynamic efficiency, and it does so by holding you in, by compressing the body. This has a dramatic effect on biomechanical efficiency, it means that your muscles don’t flap about so much. Because of this, the process of recovery after each stroke is infinitely easier for the body to deal with.
... he goes into some mombo-jombo about these new swimsuits all the kids are wearing, gets to be a yawner, but his point is not lost. where are all the boobs? i don't think the world would mind a little more of this...
