    SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2016 SPORTS BASKETBALL SWIMming Will truce in swimsuit wars carry on past Rio Olympics? RIO DE JANEIRO: There’s one question swimmers won’t hear this month around the Olympic Aquatics Stadium in Rio de Janeiro: What are you wearing? Olympic coaches and swimmers would prefer it remain that way, never wanting to go back to the swim- suit wars that culminated with a ludicrous display of speed at the 2009 world championships. Yet, the big-money swimsuit companies - so crucial to the sport’s financial viability - are always pressing to show off their high-tech chops, which are severely crimped by rules that restrict the size and fabrics for competition swimsuits. Some are wondering just how long the status quo will remain in place after the Rio Games end on Aug. 21. “I do believe there will be something that’s coming,” American swimmer Elizabeth Beisel said. “Whether it’s in the next five years, 10 years, who knows? But it’ll get back to where it was, for sure.” That prospect is anathema to those who remember RIO DE JANEIRO: France’s guard Marine Johannes (3rd R) battles Turkey’s defence during a Women’s round Group A basketball match between Turkey and France at the Youth what happened seven years ago in Rome, when a decade Arena in Rio de Janeiro yesterday during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. — AFP of radical changes in swimsuit design led to the introduc- tion of rubberized bodysuits. Forty-three world records were set at a meet that was more farce than competition, leading governing body FINA to hastily impose new swimsuit rules that mandated only textile fabrics, banned Spain leads record 34 NBA zippers and restricted the amount of coverage from the waist to the top of the knees for men - so-called “jam- mers” - and to the upper body and upper legs for women.
