Up until the 1996 Atlanta Games, swimmers typically wore suits that covered as little of their skin as necessary, NBC Olympics explained in February 2024.

Shaving one’s entire body was the primary way to enhance speed through the water.

Highlights

What would the Olympics be without some good old meme-esque content?

If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it. 

“This is not an elite athletic kit for track and field. Enter Arno Kamminga of the Netherlands, who competed in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke during Day 1 of swimming and his “thirst trap” swimshorts. I hope I can trust WADA that the conclusion was right… I’m just disappointed in the way it was handled.”

Kamminga said he is not sure if he would shake the Chinese swimmer Qin Haiyang’s hand if he beat him to gold.

“I’ll see how it goes.

Professional athletes should be able to compete without dedicating brain space to constant pube vigilance or the mental gymnastics of having every vulnerable piece of your body on display.

“Women’s kits should be in service to performance, mentally and physically. I think it’s hard to judge or say anything without knowing everything,” Kamminga said via Reuters.

“The problem is the way in which it was handled.

Since then, advancements by manufacturers have created a wholesale change in the looks of Olympic swimmers. 

Atlanta marked the beginning of the “bodysuit revolution,” the outlet stated. It’s also about building a social media following so you can support yourself after the novelty of being an athlete wears off.

All jokes aside, Kamminga has been vocal in the press over a much more serious issue in the build-up to the Games.

Kamminga described the case of the 23 Chinese swimmers testing positive for a banned drug as a “lose-lose situation”, questioning how the investigation was handled.

“Everyone is questioning it, so it’s a lose-lose situation for everyone – for swimming lovers but also for the Chinese swimmers themselves.

At those Games, neck-to-knee swimsuits made their Olympic debut, with Speedo’s model, the Aquablade, worn by several medal winners.

Prior to the 2000 Sydney Games, when swimmers began wearing suits that covered all parts of their body except their feet, hands, and head, some observers felt the suits were performance-enhancing and, therefore, against the rules. 


As per NBC, the World Aquatics, swimming’s governing body, declined to ban the suits and, as a result, most competitors in Sydney wore some variation of the bodysuit.

And when he wins a fair game, I will congratulate him, I’ve been beaten fair and square. I’ve been training my whole life for this, sacrificing so much in life. IS THIS LEGAL?” another said.

Remember folks, the Olympics isn’t just about gold medals. Most gold medalists at the 2004 Games wore Speedo’s Fastskin suit. 

For the Beijing Games, Speedo introduced the LZR Racer suit, which was touted as the world’s fastest swimsuit, the American broadcaster noted. 

Made from a compressive, water-repellent, and chlorine-resistant fabric, it was said to reduce drag and provide the most streamlined shape.

The Dutch swimmer finished in second place in his Men’s 100m Breaststroke event, recording a time of 59.12, The Spun reported on Sunday (July 28).

All jokes aside, Arno expressed his immense disappointment in his result, writing alongside a photograph of himself shared on Instagram during the competition: “Not what I came for,” with a broken heart emoji.

Ahead of the competition, the Katwijk native described a case that saw 23 Chinese swimmers test positive for a banned drug as a “lose-lose situation” while also questioning how the investigation was handled by the authorities ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed reports in April that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for trimetazidine, a medication that increases blood flow to the heart, before the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, Reuters reported on July 18.

However, WADA reportedly accepted the findings of a Chinese investigation that this was due to substance contamination.

Arno, who won silver medals at the Tokyo Olympics in the 100m and 200m Breaststroke, said that even if due process was followed, the fact that “they didn’t tell anyone” about the positive tests until April was a bone of contention.

He told Reuters: “Everyone is questioning it, so it’s a lose-lose situation for everyone – for swimming lovers but also for the Chinese swimmers themselves. 

“I think it’s hard to judge or say anything without knowing everything.”

“The problem is the way in which it was handled.

“For them to just cover it up, not say anything instead of being upfront and transparent with us, I think that’s where the problem lies for most people.

“Whether they’re positive or not, I don’t know. 

“I can’t say anything about it.

Olympics fans drool over Dutch swimmer’s thirst trap swimsuit: ‘Is this legal?’

They were talking about Paris 2024 being the hottest Olympics on record, but nobody said it had anything to do with the men’s swimwear.

A Dutch swimmer has become an overnight hit with those inclined after exiting the pool with what appeared to be the skimpiest, most revealing trunks seen since February’s Mardi Gras.

In a decision that was clearly made by a public relations team, the Netherlands have opted for the most flesh-coloured orange on the thighs of their trunks.

“Whether they’re positive or not, I don’t know. The optical illusion almost makes it appear as if the swimmer is naked.

So when 28-year-old Arno Kamminga’s tightly-fitted, spotted number graced the pool deck, he became an instant celebrity on social media.

While Arno’s trunks ignited amusement, other Olympic sports gear drew criticism, as exemplified by Team USA’s controversial track and field uniforms.

The risqué apparel caused quite a stir back in April after being unveiled by Nike, with many slamming the decision to adopt the uniforms of sexism and concern over practicality.

At the time, Lauren Fleshman, a retired US world champion runner, took to her Instagram page to share her concerns, writing: “I’m sorry, but show me one WNBA or NWSL team who would enthusiastically support this kit.

“This is for Olympic Track and Field.

I just want it to be an even playing field.

“I want everyone to be on the same level and I really hope he is as well. This is a costume born of patriarchal forces that are no longer welcome or needed to get eyes on women’s sports. 

“I’m queer and I’m attracted to female bodies, but I don’t expect or enjoy seeing female athletes or male athletes put in a position to battle self-consciousness at their place of work.

“That is not part of the job description.
