I love watching sport on TV- especially the Olympics and love seeing all the different countries compete. As I sit on my couch I have been musing particularly on the idea of what I like to call “personal embellishment”.
The road cyclists go for every aerodynamic advantage- special helmets ,skin tight suits and even debating whether rectangular drink bottles are more aerodynamic than cylindrical ones.
Then I watch the sprinters, especially the women , and they have big hair, big bows in the big hair, large earrings, lots of jewellery, huge false eyelashes and extra long fingernails. Some even have chains around their waists .
Given that the winning margin can be thousandths of a second surely these things are a disadvantage from an aerodynamic standpoint
I concede that it’s important to express your personality and to each their own but…makes me think everytime I see it .
Maybe we should go back to the original Greek idea of competing in one’s birthday suit ?
😵💫😜

But seriously, competing nude sounds miserable to me in most modern sports, even if there were not countless cameras and spectators.
