I'd be pissed if they made me wear anything more than a bikini botton! <br /><br />Most athletes love to celebrate and show off the hot bod they work their asses off for!

Where are all the topless speedo clad woman at?<br /><br />I responded to this in the previous post. After reviewing the rules on volleyball I found:<br />Rule 5.1.1 <br />A player�s equipment consists of shorts or a bathing suit. A jersey or tank-top is optional except when specified in Tournament Regulations. Players may wear a hat.<br /><br />The athletes have their choice of bathing suit. It doesn't have to be a bikini. <br /><br />On another note if these women are comfortable wearing this attire who are we to complain? Dbl D you have a great point. Where are all the topless speedo clad woman at?

I responded to this in the previous post. After reviewing the rules on volleyball I found:
Rule 5.1.1

The athletes have their choice of bathing suit. It doesn't have to be a bikini.

On another note if these women are comfortable wearing this attire who are we to complain?

Why aren't the women in Speedos, dammit? <br /><br />I would imagine that there must be some complicity in the women's sports, because otherwise I'm SURE these strong, powerful women would stand up against wearing the outfits they wear. What other factors are at play? Meaning, if it's volleyball, do the women rely more on speed and flexibility, thus requiring clothing that allows for better locomotion? If it's gymnastics, is it a range of motion issue? I honestly don't know. But it's hard to imagine that if Team USA wanted to wear the same uniforms in all coed sports, they wouldn't, just to bend to some arbitrary standard. That's just not how we roll. I'd be curious to know the real reasons why May-Treanor wears those deliciously tight bikini bottoms.
