Lol. Many of us will have regrets in life but “I wish I didn’t show off my body when I was young and hot” is rarely among them.

Also, these are women used to competing and can make decisions for themselves.

I'm watching the mens basketball. Most of them are wearing compression tights or socks. How come the female beach volleyball players don't think they'd benefit from compression leggings?

I wouldn't want to do a sport requiring a Brazilian wax.


love to get sand in my compression socks.

So the fast marathon runners can wow us with their skills, and the also rans are left wowing us with their abs and underwear outfits?


You mean the gold medalist sprinters? Don’t watch the Olympic events that so offend you.



No, I'm talking about the rest of the marathon field running in underwear.



They had a choice of multiple outfits to wear that’s what they chose.

When I do hot yoga, I choose a similar outfit

Why don't other sports like mens gymnastics, break dancing and mens pole vault feel compelled to show off their incredible bodies? It feels too much like Hollywood where women are pressured into nude scenes, ignoring their acting chops.


Have you seen men’s diving? Do they need to wear those skimpy Speedos to perform the dives?


Probably they don't have to. Maybe they want to show off longer legs to the judges, because a lot of them are short. I did see one covering his front with a chamois afterwards who must have been sick of the viral photos.

I feel like the Olympics ultimately diminishes women by showcasing women’s bodies which do not naturally exist for 99.9% of real women.


You need to follow Ilona Maher if you think many Olympic bodies don’t represent women.

You’re only looking at 3-4 sports.

Look at rugby, look at shot put, hammer throw.

They'll be like me wearing more clothes, which at least covers the scars from the skin cancer biopsies.

I was happy to see the Brazilian women beach volleyball players wearing real shorts while smashing the Americans who frantically struggled while showing half a butt.

They are still covering more than the beach volleyball women

I have seen some female runners opt for more fabric to cover themselves. I am curious about whether the athletes can opt for better coverage. Can a gymnast say that they aren’t wearing the half butt leotards
