Hey Loren (LMH),
how is your suit holding up . . . if I recall correctly, you were experienceing some thread inefficiencies at the last meet . . .
I can't wait to see what you come up with for next season!:cheerleader:
Wow... this is a direct result of the "absolutely only one suit" ruling!
Is there such a rule? But in the Beijing Olympics Italy's Pellegrini wore two suits and won Gold medal. You can even see the suit underneath. "I put training swimsuit below the other swimsuit. Because the swimsuits of new generation are sometimes, it happens, they break very easily as it happened yesterday in semifinal. So in order to avoid any problem and ensure myself not naked, I wore underneath another swimsuit. This is a simple training swimsuit." Retrospectively, very wise of her!
nhc - they made the 1 suit rule after the Olympics because people were stacking suits to try and gain a compression/buoyancy advantage. So now at elite levels like that you can't wear anything under your techsuit. Luckily in masters a "modesty suit" is still allowed.
Maybe she didn't have a coach like Eddie Reese to halt the meet for 5 minutes so she could get into another suit like apparently, Eddie did for Dave Walters when his LZR ripped at NCAAs and got a 5 minute break to get a another LZR from Eddie's box of LZRs. Ok, I am just assuming the the box of LZR part. Also, she probably thought that since it wasn't a LZR, it wasn't going to rip.
