Not sure if it's the suit, the Olympic year, or a combo of both - but I do get the impression that the LZR racer is the fastest suit out there. It's not yet available, but I am sure some people will pull some strings and show up with the suit in Austin.
I think we should all agree to ban the suit from Austin and spread the word to everybody. I know it's not binding - but I think we are all "old enough" to work on the honor system.
Any thoughts ?
We should ban anything that all folks everywhere can't have equal access to. If they can get access to it but can't afford it, we should ban it also. If their pool is too hot or cold and not optimal training conditions, we should ban all competitors who are able to train in optimal conditions. If a person who has a LZR can't make it to Austin for whatever reason, Nationals should be shut down cause it just isn't fair that not everyone can compete.
The level playing field in swimming is the pool and APPROVED apparel. This suit is approved, get over it if you can't find or afford it. There are thousands of items you don't have access to, doesn't mean the rest of us can't enjoy them.
Equal distribution of commodities - soak that up in Havana or Beijing or Pyongyang.
For all that want this denied until Speedo produces enough for everyone - you are just playing into Speedo's marketing plan - create buzz, increase demand, keep prices high.
It's Masters swimming, for goodness sakes.
