Its not the athlete, its the equipment........

Found this of interest. Perhaps my new OC1 will have the same effect:-)

Britta, my teutonic goddess, puts it nicely:
“With all this discussion, people shouldn’t forget the suit doesn’t swim alone. Inside is a person that has a good or bad day, and trained well or badly.”

When you get beat, its because the other paddler had a faster canoe. When you win its because you're a better paddler.

Non sequitur. Canoe races are not routinely won by .00 or .000 seconds. Who can say that at that level, a concious or subconcious edge with regard to a swimmer's equipment will not have an effect on the swimmer performance?

i think that is the swimsuit that was tested in wind tunnels at NASA.

Did someone say wind tunnel with speedos on?
