Olympics Ban Full-Body Swimsuits to Ensure Fair Competition

Controversial high-tech suits, first used in 2008, are prohibited at the 2024 Paris Games due to performance-enhancing advantages.

Full-body swimsuits increased buoyancy and reduced drag, leading to numerous world records.
The suits were banned in 2010 after dominating the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
New regulations mandate textile-only suits, limiting coverage for both men and women.
The ban aims to prevent unfair advantages and maintain the integrity of the sport.
NASA collaborated with Speedo to develop the high-tech LZR suit used in 2008.
