Kerri Strug was super squeaky.

I got a two-fer pack at Home Depot, but sadly they were not bath sized.

Kristin Chenowith as an example:
Munchkins have high voices. Remember the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz and the oompa-loompas?

It's not shaky, but squeaky. And I've noticed this at ALL competitions whether they've won or lost. Shawn Johnson has a Youtube channel and she sounds high and squeaky when talking on there.

Why when swimmers are getting ready to go into the pool, do they do a shake thing? It looks like they're making their arms vibrate or twitch. Are they shivering? Something else?
Why are swimmers only given washcloths to dry off with? Everyone in the world that I know of who goes to the pool brings a beach towel. Why are they taking a square piece of fabric smaller than my stationery?
Here are the answers:
They have high voices because they are trying to sound like the Kardashians.
Their muscles twitch because of the amount of caffeine and cocaine they have ingested.
The Rio Olympics could not afford bigger towels, they could only afford washcloths.

The twitch thing is to get and keep their muscles loose.
The high voice thing is because the length of your vocal chords is in proportion the the length of the rest of your body. The longer your vocal chords, the lower your voice. There is, of course, natural variation, but very small people have smaller vocal chords and, therefore, higher voices.

The towels are like those sham wow clothes. Super absorbent, you only need a washcloth size.
