Clothing Is The Stimulant Technology Competition Becomes The Decisive Straw.

For athletes, competition clothing is also one of the decisive factors.

Because confidence is also a stimulant.

The water cube is a widely known name than the National Swimming Center.

Since August 10, 2008, Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia have been fighting here.

Here, they are close friends and strong rivals. They also receive lucky blessings in the same material, but they are bound to have different performances.

This is the competition, cruel, but fair, and the beauty of athletics lies in the fact that one person will win, and the efforts of others should be respected.

When watching diving, the general audience is concerned about the size of splashing water, the height of take-off and the grace of flip movements.

No one will care about whether the water in the clothes will be drained quickly when the athletes come out of the water, so that the next take-off will not be affected.

Of course, athletes exceptions, clothing for them, at that moment, is also part of the confidence index.

The same is the water cube. Since August 9th, the Chinese swimming team, which is tentatively scheduled to wear Nike Swiftunit, will encounter the United States team wearing shark skin.

Because the shark skin helps to the result of the match, will the Chinese team be compared without the start of the game, and no one will give the answer.

If the Chinese team fails, more Chinese audiences will complain that the athletes are not prepared well, while the athletes will complain that the costumes are not giving them the best help.

Science and technology competition with Chinese elements wrapped

In the past year, Zhang Yan has been discussing with colleagues how to make the costume design more distinctive.

The Chinese element is Lining's designer who has insisted on the core of design for many years.

The dragon clothing of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and the "Splendid China" of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games are Zhang Yan's main minds.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Yan's design was integrated with the ideas of the other 6 designers. Their collective wisdom was to give blessings to the athletes.

Lining can see "lucky line" (LuckyLine) in the four gold medal dream teams.

Of course, the premise of lucky blessings is that the competition clothing has been injected with the latest technology elements, such as the application of super perspiration COOLMAX fabric and highly protected XtraLife Lycra fiber.

Like Lining, Nike's 22 national team uniform, launched in May 13th, is also emphasizing technology themes.

In an interview, Mark Parker, President and chief executive of Nike, talked about the importance of science and technology elements in the national team's clothing and the impact of athletes on designers. "All the sports from BMX BMX to track and field, including Chinese athletes including Liu Xiang, have brought inspiration to us and inspired us to design the best and most innovative competition equipment."

Nike sponsored national costume includes lightweight Flywire technology fiber and Lunarlite cushioning sports shoes, and NikeSwift functional sports wear made from recycled polyester.

Clothing is the biggest selling point with lighter, stronger sweat perspiration and more elasticity.

The main companies that sponsor Chinese athletes are Adidas, Nike and Lining, and the three companies are playing Chinese elements and technology cards.

Since 2008, three companies have been developing new products with Chinese elements.

In January, Adidas launched the auspicious cloud pattern clothing which volunteers and staff members should wear. In February, Nike launched the 84 retro sports culture series to commemorate the breakthrough of China gold medal in 1984 Losangeles Olympic Games.

Let alone Lining, from the Lining bow inspired by Zhaozhou Bridge to the basketball shoes of ancient Chinese armour and Zhong Ding structure, the application of Chinese elements can be seen in almost every product.

When the national team launches clothes, the Chinese wind is even more used.

Nike's national uniforms are dominated by the Chinese people's favorite red and gold colors. The Terracotta Army of Qin Dynasty was applied to clothing by Nike designers.

The inside of the uniform is printed with only the pattern that athletes can see, and the most representative word of the national anthem is "rising" and "advancing".

Lining's match suit has been widely used in traditional Chinese red, supplemented by gold, parrot blue and other colors.

In the printing process, the principle of color optics is applied to achieve a strong sense of vision such as gradual change of color and metallic texture.

On the choice of pattern, the image of "Golden Dragon" is integrated into the clothing of the table tennis players, and the king's hegemony is highlighted. The diving team takes advantage of the blue and white porcelain pattern and elegance without losing vitality. The gymnastic costume takes the stage as the design concept and adopts the complex modeling of oriental charm with peony, Ruyi Moyun, Phoenix, etc., which is in sharp contrast with the concise style of the concentric circle of the shooting team.

Of course, Lining's designers have developed different functions of sports characteristics in order to increase the score of the match or the application of the technology elements.

Take diving suit as an example, there are special drains behind each garment. When athletes enter the water, they can quickly drain the swimsuit and the body, reduce resistance and reduce water spray.

In addition, a kind of fiber called XtraLife Lycra is also used in diving suit. Because of its strong elasticity, the fabric can be highly preserved and will not relax or blister.

Another application of technology does not directly assist athletes, but has a magical effect on the regulation of mood.

Natural extraction technology is also applied to women's team's daily wear: the extract of lavender is concentrated and made into microcapsules, which is evenly blended into elastic fabrics containing Lycra fibers.

When the body is moving, the unique elastic properties of Lycra fiber fabrics will break these microcapsules and release the nutrients directly to the skin, which will help athletes relax their body and mind outside the stadium.

Technology competition becomes the decisive straw.

In June 13th, Cuban teenager Robles broke the world record of Liu Xiang's 110 metre hurdle race.

But this is not the most divine.

More information about breaking the world record in the early June and early July came from the swimming world.

In July 2nd, the United States Swimming Olympic trials entered the second day, and the world record of the women's 100 meter backstroke was broken two times in two minutes.

Their victory is all about the magic of a race suit, the fourth generation of the SpeedoLZR.

In fact, shark skin became a black horse born out of the world with the characteristics of light weight, low resistance, waterproof and fast drying, and the first set of no wrinkles in the world.

The fourth generation shark skin, in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, has passed the most rigorous surface friction test in the most accurate wind tunnel in the world.

Phelps, an American flying fish, said after trying out the fourth generation of shark skin, "this dress is very like a spacesuit. It makes some of the people wearing it fast and hard to adapt to."

It was this magical effect that made the fourth generation of shark skin rewrite 16 times in less than a month.

It is also because of the magical effect of shark skin. Although Nike launched the NikeSwift swimsuit, the Chinese swimming team began to contact Speedo in mid June to explore the possibility of wearing shark skin.

In fact, Nike's swimsuit has been trying to reduce joints.

In addition, SPEEDv1 is added to the swimsuit's surface.

SPEEDv1z has the smallest dynamic resistance in the same products.

Whether the Chinese swimming team used the fourth generation of shark skin, Nike did not restrict it, and Speedo company also offered olive branches on its own initiative.

When LZRRa cer just launched, Speedo China tried to get in touch with the Chinese swimming team, and even suggested that if athletes wear the fourth generation shark skin, even if the logo of Spee do is erased, it can be accepted.

However, the invitation did not receive the support and response from the China Swimming Association.

In fact, the technology of the world swimming teams is near the limit, and if the costume has magical effects, at least one shot can be given to the athletes, so that they can believe that they have the help of heaven.

Of course, not everyone agrees with the effectiveness of Speedo.

Gary Hall, the 5 Olympic gold medalist, said that the reason why swimming breaks records repeatedly is its stimulant rather than its bathing suit.

Holzer's guess is not groundless. Although doping testing is becoming more and more stringent, more doping is being applied.

The famous AIDS drug Viagra, originally used to treat male erectile dysfunction, has now become a stimulant substitute for athletes in running, cycling, skiing and other sports events.

Because Viagra can expand blood vessels and increase the oxygen content in the blood, and it is not used by the World Anti Doping Agency, so it is being abused by professional athletes.

Compared with the Chinese swimming team, which is interested in shark skin, China's four "gold medal dream team" - table tennis, shooting, gymnastics and diving players are much more loyal to Lining.

After trying on the match suit, Guo Jingjing, who has always been very pleasant to say, said, "the most special feeling this year is the drainage function system. When you enter the water, you can reduce the water spray to the greatest extent, and you can also get rid of the water at the fastest speed when you go ashore.

At the same time, we are also concerned about the beauty of diving suit. I like this metal color very much and have a sense of future. I believe this diving suit can better show our graceful and dexterous rotation posture.

In addition to the satisfaction of color patterns, it is also related to the feelings of Chinese gold medal dream team on Chinese national brands.

Previously, the four teams have been relatively stable, with few special accidents.

This year, Lining provided the "lucky line" for their prayers, as well as the zipper head made of pure gold.

Lining's confidence in the "golden dream team" is evident.
