Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2223547, member: 1853"] Yeah I know what you mean. But Idon't have a problem with the suits they wore at the Olympics because all the real contenders were wearing the same thing, so I don't believe it had any impact on the final result. I think the top guys (and gals) are always going to be the top ones and the racing between them will be pretty much the same no matter what they are wearing if it's basically the same thing. However the buoyancy in the latest suits does change things significantly. I can't really explain it in simple terms, but I had a couple of sports scientists take me through it - and these suits compensate for poor technique somewhat, so does give more of an advantage to a nuffie than it would to someone like Phelps or Rice who already have great technique - so a good swimmer is going to be able to better match it with a great swimmer in this suit, even if they are both wearing the same one.
