That thing looks like an add-on because the original suits are underneath. I hope that's not permanent because that is freaking ugly! If it is permanent, they could've at least made it the same color! I mean come on. With the way that skinsuits are 'sanctioned' and the regulations they must meet, I would wonder if they would allow some kind of an add on 'bib'. Also, wouldn't that really defeat the purpose of aerodynamics? I wonder if the cut of the colors is deceiving our eyes, and it is really just 1 piece. Would they allow/want 2 pieces?   |

They're new skinsuits. The old ones had a red chevrony thing down the shin pad and Apolo and Anthony had completely worn off the silver inner thigh pad of their old suits. (...not that I'm looking in that area waaaaaayyyyy too closely....)  |

Yeah, after waching that CCTV video, I realized they're new. And I was also comparing the anatomy of the Korean/Chinese skinsuits to ours and they're different. The Canadians don't have those things at all. I'm sorry but those things need to be fixed or redesigned or something. dopeyrn: I don't really know how to set a screen saver (plus, I have Vista and I was playing around with it last night and there is "kind of" a way). |

I think that I am going to have to scrutinize the new skinsuits much more closely in order to form an opinion about them. |

Well, we've all read where the Winter Olympic gear would tip its hate to a more nostalgic look. I'm trying to determine what fashion period I am suppose to think of when I see this skinsuit? Sleeveless nehru vest without the collar? LOL

No, I don't think anyone wants to see any 90's skinsuits. We, along with China and Korea (their yellow and blue ones they wore in Salt Lake were...ugh!), need to stick with solid colors.

Off topic but have to ask...is there such a thing as an Apolo screensaver? Knowing the talent on this board, I am sure someone has done this. Thanks! Anyone?? I got a screensaver off of Apolo's site back in 2006 that is still the screensaver that I use. It is of Apolo in 2002, and if you want I can put it up on rapidshare.  |

I guess I'm the only one who likes the two tone color of the new skin suit?

Rapidshare is just a place that I put up files so others can download to their computers. Anyway, here is the link to download the Apolo screensaver that I have. rapidshare.com/files/283218795/ApoloOhno.exeOnce the file is saved onto your computer, double click on the icon and it will install itself. |
