What we find most interesting is the statement of world record holder Natalie Coughlin, who uses the suit, that swimmers not wearing the Speedo will be at a disadvantage:
“I don’t know how to quantify how much faster it’s going to make me, but I do know it will reduce drag, and for the other athletes not wearing a Speedo in that race, they are at a disadvantage.”
We don’t know about you but we are beginning to believe that this new suit gives an unfair advantage to its users. What happens now to the concept of “level-playing field”. FINA should reconsider its approval of the LZR Speedo.
