Michael Mann of Centennial, Colo., flew past his opponents, swaddled shoulder-to-ankle in a black neoprene bodysuit. Mr. Mann, 55, won the 400-meter individual medley race and set a world record for his age group, 55 to 59. Mr. Mann set new world marks in the 200-, 400- and 800-meter freestyle while Mr. Evans steamed.
One of the compelling arguments against the suits is that they cost too much and thus give a competitive advantage to swimmers who are economically blessed.
I guess that's an argument, but not very compelling.
