ugh my essay about the shiny suits is lost to the internet but i haven't thought about them at all until this week and the side commentary i've been watching on youtube.
you remember the speedo lzr racer that was basically worn by everyone at the 2008 olympics, michael phelps definitely. that one had those panels of what looked like rubber on them. that suit was about 50% shinysuit. the season after, in 2009, everyone was wearing suits that were 100% shiny. my college team had blue70s as an option. i listened to my teammates talk about how good they felt in them. i never used a tech suit (i wasn't in a position where a tenth of a second was going to make a difference to the team). i opted not to spend the extra cash on the blue70 and swam my last races in the regular team suit. i spent that whole meet using sharpie on the logos on the butt because they violated ncaa rules, lol.
anyway a year later, the suits were illegal. i went back to college for graduation because a bunch of my friends were in that class. a teammate still had her blue70 and i asked if i could try it out. we went to the pool and i didn't even warm up, just took off the blocks and swam a 50 free all-out. i was within a second and a half of my best time a year out of the pool. i felt so buoyant and the end of the swim didn't hurt nearly as much as it should have because of that.
back to 2009 -- world championships in rome, everyone's in the suit, and world records are falling one after the other. and they're not just falling -- they're getting SMASHED. swimmers are coming out of nowhere and just taking them out. watching on television, the WR line would get run down in the last 15m of every race like the swimmer just wasn't TIRED. phelps is still in the lzr because he's a speedo athlete and paul biederman drops 4 seconds off his beijing time to break mike's 200m free WR and shit hits the fan. that was the first time mike's coach really saw just how much the suits were doing. he knew paul's capabilities, he knew mike's, and dropping 4 seconds???? impossible without outside help.
on the commentary feed tonight aaron peirsol was asked about the shinysuits and if he thought they helped. starting at 1:10:06 you can hear him thoughtfully speak about why the suits shouldn't be allowed and how he feels about his shinysuit WR.
