Hardy wore a Jaked suit. It and other record-breaking polyurethane bodysuits will be banned by swimming’s world governing body on Jan. 1.
The eight finalists in the men’s 200 individual medley made a fashion statement by competing in briefs rather than the high-tech suits that have dominated the sport in the last year.
The swimmers received a standing ovation when they paraded on deck for the start of the race.
“Some of the us were joking around about wearing briefs if we made finals,” said Jack Brown, who won in 2 minutes, 2:13 seconds. “It was just something fun we did to end the meet and the summer season. I think the last time I wore a brief in a meet was when I was 12 years old, but it was definitely worth it.”

What's interesting is that the men stood in solidarity in briefs for the 200IM.
