Magic Bathing Technology Doping?

On the two day, the swimming pool of the Omaha Olympic swimming trials in the United States set off a world record breaking trend: Phelps and herb have rewritten the world record for men's 400 meter medley medley. Mcgregor and Doughlin have broken the world record of women's 100 meter backstroke, and Peirsol Jean's men's 100 meter backstroke world record has passed away.

They have one thing in common. They all wear Speedo LZRRacer swimsuit.

Since the British launched this new swimsuit in February 2008, the original calm water of the swimming pool has been rippled.

Schubert, coach of the US swimming team, predicted that the 18 world record will be broken in the US trials on the 5 day.

According to statistics, 40 of the 44 ancient world records have been created by swimmen wearing this bathing suit, and this number is continuing to grow.

Amazing swimsuit will improve performance by 2%

Where is the difference of Speedo LZRRacer SWIMSUIT?

Why do people call it "technology stimulant"?

According to Speedo, they cooperate with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in adopting a fabric that can reduce drag, no joint design and polyurethane thin film.

Professor Tucson, who studies the physiological limits of human beings in France, said: "this swimsuit improves the performance of athletes by 2%, so it is conceivable that the 100 meter freestyle can be completed in 46 seconds, and the 50 meter freestyle can only be 20 seconds 5."

According to his analysis, in the 4 strokes of Yang, frogs, butterflies and swimmers, the world record rewritten by Speedo LZRRacer is mostly in freestyle and backstroke. This is because the larger swimming stroke has less benefit from the new swimsuit, while the male athletes benefit less than the female swimmers.

Using the principles of hydrodynamics and bionics, the shark skin swimsuit produced by Speedo company can reduce water resistance by 4%. It was a great success in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and became the symbol of the success of Thorpe.

Now the Speedo LZRRacer, which uses plastic materials, is called the fourth generation shark skin swimsuit. It has pushed the technological revolution of swimsuit to a new height.

Phelps praised the new swimsuit in June 30th after breaking the world record: "it accelerated at least a few seconds for me, especially at the end of the game, feeling a bit tired, and the swimsuit gave me extra help."

Swimsuit business before Olympic Games

Speedo's new swimsuit is almost a nightmare for other brands.

Manodu, the world champion and the famous French swimmer, lost in the 400 meter freestyle in the April full France championship. After the match, she cried, "my only expectation now is that she can provide a new swimsuit."

Under pressure, arenas, a swimsuit manufacturer in Italy, asked FIFA to ban Speedo's new bathing suit because its plastic materials did not meet the requirements of the fina.

But they did not win the support of the fina, and could only be forced to launch the re - swim II swimsuit to compete with other manufacturers in the Beijing Olympic Games.

Adrianna's new swimsuit was approved by the fina in June, while the new swimsuit designed by Adidas and Mizuno Corporation was also approved.

But Speedo, who grabbed the commanding heights, has benefited from the competition ahead of the Olympic Games, and the market share has increased by 7 percentage points to 61%.

Will the Chinese Navy catch up with the trend?

Almost all top swimmers think that if you can not wear Speedo LZRRacer, the swimming pool of the water cube will be an unfair arena.

Will the Chinese naval forces participate in the Beijing Olympics?

It is understood that the Chinese swimming team, which had been rejected by Speedo LZRRacer, approached the Speedo company 3 weeks ago. Some of the team members have already started trying on it, but whether the national team is wearing the new swimsuit to participate in the Olympic Games is still uncertain.

The Chinese players who tried to wear the new swimsuit did not agree. Some believe that wearing Speedo can at least build up confidence for himself and will not be dwarf at the starting point; some people think the new swimsuit is not so obvious that it offends the original sponsor Nike to change to Speedo.

Another problem is that Speedo swimsuit is mainly designed for European and American athletes. Is it suitable for Asian athletes?

Speedo said that although it is not customized for everyone, this swimsuit has 9 sizes to choose from.

Of course, there is no doubt that the first thing to break the record is human, not swimsuit.

Unlike swimsuits, swimsuits can no longer help.
