Do female gymnasts wear any sort of protective gear for their groin area? ?

Question

I have been watching the Olympics, and it seems as if the ladies are sporting some sort of crotch padding. Are my eyes deceiving me?

Answer 1

Yes they do... It's not really a protective gear... More like padding... It stops showing the "camel toes" on all the gymnasts on the live T.V. to millions...

Answer 2

lol. no. that is just the result of very high cut leos. i can't say i've ever heard this one before. its basically like a massive camel toe.  

Answer 3

why would they need to

Answer 4

They won't really need it...
