Their research says having suits that have dimples (like golf balls) rather than the historically smooth suits, will shave a few hundreths of a second off times. In this sport, that could be the difference between winning a metal or not winning. Too funny on the crotch color difference. I have no clue what they were thinking when they decided that angle.

Looks like an equipment malfunction.

At least they were original! Look what the designers of the uniforms for Canada's hockey team came up with...

They just copied Petro Canada's logo!

BTW...those three guys yhortling and chortling in the above pic? Petro Canada's senior executives...

Hmm. Original costumes were the ones given them by God, for 1200 years. They didn't have winter sports back then though.

Looks like what happens to my running apparel after a few thousand miles....

Maybe the material for the crotch area is a different type that produces less friction as the inner thighs rub against each other.
Or it could be to just show off the crotch - like this:

I guess the girls won't complain that the guys are always looking at their chests.

You could say...we're "Putin" it to them Russians! lympics::united-states:

 

[sixdogs]

Yeah, a codpiece. Seemed like a good idea at the time. People get paid to think this stuff up?
