Olympic Swim Meet Slowed by Textile Suits

LONDON — The first four nights of swimming at the 2012 Olympics have featured moments of triumph, such as Ryan Lochte’s dominating win in the men’s 400-meter individual medley. They’ve featured stunning comebacks, such as France’s surprise win over the United States in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay. And Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian ever when he won his 19th medal.
One thing the meet hasn’t featured, however, is the tidal wave of world records we saw in Beijing four years ago.
Thus far in London, we’ve seen world records set in three of the 16 events completed thus far: the women’s 400-meter individual medley, the women’s 100-meter butterfly and the men’s 100m breaststroke.
Looking back at the 2008 Games in Beijing, 10 records were set in those 16 events. All told, new world records were set in 21 of the 32 swimming events held in a pool in 2008 (the 10km marathon swim is held in open water).
The spreadsheet above shows the events contested thus far in the 2012 Summer Games. World records are highlighted in red.
Of course, it’s not that swimmers aren’t as fit or fast as they used to be. The major change since 2008 is the banning of the high-tech body suits that led to a complete re-writing of the record books in Beijing. The first of the so-called super suits made partly of polyurethane was the Speedo LZR Racer, developed in conjunction with NASA and the Australian Institute of Sport before the 2008 Games. After the success of that suit in 2009, other companies made suits completely out of polyurethane.
At the 2009 World Championships in Rome, swimmers set 43 world records in the last major meet for the super suits, which were banned at the end of that year. Since then, only five swimming world records have been broken — the three thus far in London and two at the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai.
The suits often were advertised as increasing a swimmer’s buoyancy in the pool. But there was another important factor, especially for female swimmers. At this year’s meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine meeting in San Francisco, Australian sports scientist Louise Burke discussed the effect the suits had on the shape of a swimmers body.
“The fast suits were kind of like the Spanx of swimming,” said Burke. “They put everyone in to the right shape for swimming, and allowed for swimmers with different body types.”
“In 2000 [before the fast suits], we had body weight issues and disordered eating in swimmers,” Burke said. “There was a trend to lower fat levels. We might get back to that sculpting era now.”

‘Mad Men’ costumes get Emmy snub
Click photo to enlarge
Is it time to trade polished sheaths and all-business suits for lace gowns and tweed jodhpurs?
“Mad Men,” with its influential ’60s style, was overlooked for an Emmy Award nomination on Thursday for costume design for the first time in its five-year run. And while fans expressed shock about the snub, the fashion world has already embraced another nominee: “Downton Abbey.”
Episodes of “Boardwalk Empire,” “The Borgias,” “Game of Thrones” and “Once Upon a Time” also received nominations, but the likelihood of the masses finding their closets influenced by medieval Italians or mythical adventurers seems slim.
The British aristocracy of the early 1900s featured in “Downton Abbey,” however, is already making its mark.
Ralph Lauren paid homage to the show in the preview of his fall collection earlier this year, with models walking down the runway to the soundtrack. Expect more glamorous and embellished looks inspired by the show to take over store racks over the next few weeks, says Brooke Jaffe, director of fashion accessories at Bloomingdale’s. “There is a return to opulence,” Jaffe says.
Stylist George Kotsiopolous, co-host for E!’s “Fashion Police,” noted that gentlemanly looks, for men and women, come from the “Downton Abbey” pre-World War I period. “Designers are influenced by the same things as stylists: movies, TV, music, art—whatever is the zeitgeist,” he says.
For the past few years, it had been the chic, sophisticated “Mad
Men” look that dominated the fashion conversation, and the show had a wildfire ability to turn back the clock on contemporary style to embrace the clean, refined lines of the early 1960s. Countless designers, including Michael Kors and Peter Som, cited its influence, and Banana Republic launched a “Mad Men”-branded collection.
“The shape had been the same for a while—the shaped waist, the va-va-voom look,” Kostiopolous says. When it became common from “Mad Men,” he says, “it becomes
less interesting to fashion people.”
He doesn’t think the look will go away altogether, though. “Women looked good in the ’50s and ’60s because the clothes were universally flattering, and any guy looks great in a suit.”
