Is it Just Me Or Do the Costumes the Female Gymnasts Wear too Tight?

Question

I was watching the female gymnasts during the olympics and it struck me how tight the costumes are. They look a little too revealing and tight especially around the buttock area. I'm not a perv but i noticed this because of the camera shots of the women are almost constant.

Answer 1

anytime a female has to 'pull' some part of her costume from her derriere, it is too tight. They use the excuse that it is easier to move about, but actually such 'hugging' around the crotch/buttocks area is somewhat restrictive.

One does not have to hide behind the cloak of being a 'perv' to notice just what you have noticed.

I'm 24 and a female. The costumes are similar to the kind of bathing suits being worn today by young women except that they cover the arms and midriff.

They are rather tight.

Answer 2

It helps them perform, because there is less wind resistance / interference which would come from wearing loser clothes. Plus it can't hurt viewership  ratings to have girls in tight clothes on network TV.

Answer 3

Whoa. Dude, theres never TOO tight.

Answer 4

They need to be tight so they have as little wind resistance as possible. This helps them run/move faster and more efficiently.  

Answer 5

What is this the 1950's? Face it, the derriere is the new "legs". The "wow" factor in seeing a rear end is gone now (and has been for Latin America for years). A young gymnasts rear end is not something I'm looking at in that kind of way to be honest. I've changed diapers on very similar rear ends when my kids were babies so there's no 'turn on' factor there for me. LOL

Answer 6

I love the olympics, but am frustrated by how revealing a lot of the uniforms are.  I've noticed the male gymnasts don't have to wear such skimpy clothing, nor do the men's beach volleyball team - even though the women's beach volleyball team is in tiny bikinis! So, clearly the skimpiness is not for functionality...  

So, no, I don't think it's just you.  I agree.

Answer 7

are you a guy?? most guys find this to be hot

Answer 8

No, I do not think they are too tight.

Answer 9

What do you think makes beach volley ball so popular?

Answer 10

Check out the beach volleyball players and the women marathon/triathlon runners. Almost nothing.
