Why are most female Olympians breastless?

Question

I have notices that most female Olympians are breastless. Is this due to their extreme amount of exercise that causes them to burn off the fat in the breast tissue? Or is it simply their natural body type? If it is a result of exercise will their b*****s grow back, become sagging or remain flat after they discontinue these vigorous workout routines?

This question is not meant to be sexist it is purely out of curiosity.

Answer 1

I've wondered the same thing and everyone (girls get all offensive) I think it's because there Asian.  

Answer 2

dude, have you seen alicia sacramone?

Answer 3

It is because they are muscular.  I used to do alot of weightlifting.  After about 6 months I noticed that I no longer had b*****s..I had pecs!

After I stopped weight lifting, my b*****s came back.  Doing the exercises that these olympians do, it is very likely that after their olympic careers are over, they will fill out.  Look at Nadia Comenche, she has them now!

Answer 4

the breast tissue is still there, but it's more muscle than anything. typically the fullness comes from fat, not muscle, and is kept "perky" by skin tension. another thing that doesn't help the look of the breast is sports bras and spandex squishing what they do have. this lack of fullness is usually from the amount of exercising that is done, keeping the body fat low.

i guess that if they stopped doing their chosen sport, and gained more body fat that the breast would get fuller, and be perky (since the skin would still be nice and firm). i really don't know to be honest. maybe try looking up pictures of former women Olympians to answer that question.  

Answer 5

idont think they r breastless cuz i saw an inerview with alicia sacromoni not in her suit and her breats were much bigger. so i guess they want them 'packed in' so when running they do not bounce around and stuff

Answer 6

It's usually just genetic.  The body type that can succeed at the levels of the Olympic games are extremely streamlined.  Especially in gymnastics, the more child like and small the body, the better it will work.  Notice the swimmers usually have huge shoulders, the runners are like stick figures.  Training for a particular sport also hones the body into a particular shape.

Answer 7

Too much exercise. That's one of the reasons I would never be in the Olympics (I'd lose my ****).

Answer 8

Well in gymnastics, your leo flattens them out. Alicia Sacramone for instance is far from flat.

Answer 9

I love them flat. Haha, I'm j/k.

Answer 10

b***s are made of essentially fat. The intense amount of training they do causes them to lose majority of their fat. Female athletes often suffer from amenorrhea, an absence of menstrual period because their bodies don't have enough fat. So they don't exactly develop the way they should.
