Could Speedo Cause Olympic Disaster?
German swimmers fear a disastrous performance at the Beijing Olympics because they will be wearing the wrong swimsuits.
on a side note
does any one feel the the photo of phelps and beard seems a bit too revealing

Actually, in spite of the fact that it is self-serving, Speedo will have done GREAT WONDERS and an immeasurable service for the sport of swimming with their coup. Our sport is making headlines in LA, NY, Tucson, probably Paul Smith's hometown newspaper and on NPR. It's the talk of all sports for the coming Olympics. This kind of publicity is the only thing that will get the grandma's interested in tuning away from Judge Judy and watching the Olympics instead. Whereas, if our Pissing & Moaning Friends who wish to have only briefs worn had their way, swimming would quietly pass in the night like an insignificant iceberg next to a row boat. I'll bet the viewer share for swimming will be at an all-time high for the coming Olympics.
Maybe, just maybe, some kid out there will be inspired to take on that scrawny Michael Phelps instead of bulking up to be a tight end for Pittsburgh. Take that all you old fashioned, uninteresting other sports.
Long live the LZR!!
Long live the European whiners who signed on with the wrong company.
Long live Speedo!!
