Funny enough, Phelps didn't wear the suit at all during his Olympic performance. And don't think i didn't notice your undertone on the fit Rita ;) the suit is worn by several Olympians on the US team as well as others. it’s not too pricey either.

I don't follow the Olympics, I don't know who Michael Phelps is, I don't know -or care - what sport he is in or how many medals he took. BUT, THAT SUIT ROCKS! (And the, er, fit isn't too shoddy either!) Who ever thought that we'd see the day when technology was "built into" clothing? Tres chic. I do have to ask, however - is this akin to a "pine tar" bat? Does this suit give him an unfair advantage over his competitors? I doubt that Speedo could make such a suit for every Olympic swimmer. (And yes, I do understand that he only used it for training, not competition.) If I could afford the absolute best in training and practice apparel and equipment, while others couldn't, does that still keep the field level? Just curious... Fascinating post!
