    With women’s running normally you have a choice between spandex shorts (very very short shorts) and the bikini style. The shorts ride up into the crotch area and become really uncomfortable so a lot of women prefer the bikini. That said, I’ve seen a wide range of the bikini bottoms - some are more full coverage and some leave your whole ass hanging out. I’d prefer more coverage, personally. I’m not sure how much choice they get.

    It is not as easy as that - as a lot of people have commented, nowadays athletes often have a choice what they want to wear. You don't necessarily know the reason why they do this. Quite a few athletes use instagram (or even OF) to supplement their income, and she has one with ~130k followers, so maybe that's why. (Don't get me wrong, that's problematic in its own right, but it is not the "someone made her do it"-angle)

    Additionally - I don't know about running, but in aquatic diving both men and women choose very skimpy outfits to minimize the impact on the water entry, so they have valid reasons for it.

    parent root

    I watched a video recently of a female athlete who chose to run in this type of running attire. She said that she was actually given a choice of outfits and chose this type of outfit because it was her preference.

    So maybe, just maybe let's not get outraged on behalf of another individuals choice. You lot are all too quick to imagine that there's some wicked man behind the scenes forcing women into these outfits, when in reality they more than likely chose to run in it themselves and are quite happy/ would prefer running in clothing that impedes them the least.

    I thought I'd just add a link to the video in question as well. Her name's Philly Bowden link to video in question. 10:15 mark

    Volleyball really highlights the glaring discrepancy in how male and female athletics are presented. The male uniform for volleyball is loose, baggy board shorts and a t-shirt but the female uniform is skin-tight short shorts and a sports bra. It’s hard to argue that the uniform for women is intended to optimize performance when the uniform for men is so different.

    This is the biggest issue, this shit trickles down to youth sports and acts like a nasty gatekeeper. Young girls playing football and handball in plenty of European countries are forced to wear white, slightly see through shorts despite their outspoken period concerns and preference of darker colours, but some dumb old men in charge don't want to change the rule. Research in Norway has been done to show that women's football teams actually perform worse over enough time playing in white shorts, the hypothesis being that the anxiety of periods showing through impacts play, and players at all ages are talking about it. But nothing has changed.

    Yet some idiot on reddit will yap on about "maybe she prefers it this way!" Yes, maybe she does. Doesn't change that she likely doesn't have a choice, or good enough alternatives among choices, and that plenty of women opt out of sports because of said requirements. Let's maybe focus on that?

    In sports, the different rules for women's and men's attire is consistently weird, and really makes you believe they're aiming to sexualise women as much as possible.

    And when women cover up, they get fined. For example in July 2021, the Norwegian beach handball team got fined 1500€ for wearing shorts because they were longer than 10cm, instead of wearing bikinis. What got people talking even more about this incident was the photo of the women's and men's teams where it clearly shows that a human can play beach handball even if they cover their upper body and wear longer shorts, but the rules are different for different genders.

    Just wondering if women's sports clothing is designed by women or men?

    parent
    157 points Ill-Park-2324

    Rather long reply..

    The current swimsuit design evolved from leotards and bodysuits. Claire McCardell (a designer) in the 1940s helped bring bodysuit-like garments into mainstream fashion. The leotard was in invented by a man (Jules Léotard) for his own purpose as he performed in a circus.

    Nike and Adidas refined the bodysuit for track competition.

    Manufacturers promoted the design as "elite" and the enforcement of skimpy designs is done by the sports federations themselves.

    The International Handball Federation enforced bikini bottoms up until 2021. Thanks to athletes and some public pressure, the rule was changed. This federation is overwhelmingly male, something like 90% pre-2021. After 2021, it's slighty less at about 80%.

    Federations claim performance reasons for the women's outfit but don't enforce it on men. So, as usual, it's down to society's sexualization of women.

    Studies in sports sociology and media analysis consistently show that female athletes are sexualized in broadcasts, with outfit design playing a role in how coverage is framed.

    Camera angles, commentary, and marketing often emphasize women’s bodies, which has historically correlated with higher ratings and sponsorship interest. I.E.: Beautiful, fit af women in skimpy outfits makes viewership (and therefore money) go up.

    Unfortunately it's largely down to the athletes themselves to demand change since the Federations, the sportswear manufacturers and the public seem just fine with things as they are.

    In Poland witcher books are classic. Polish VC actress that dubbed Yennefer was a psycho fan of hers and kept her quotes in a notes, for example. Everyone knows them.

    Genuinely the worst "suits" I've ever seen in my life. Get them some proper running clothes, don't make women wear skimpy, uncomfortable clothing like that.

    50 points ComprehensiveJury509

    These things are usually more complicated and there usually aren't men in grey suits dictating things like this. I can't of course speak for the case in OP, but a friend of mine was in a semi-professional volleyball team and they were given options. Most of the women chose the skimpiest possible outfits anyways and then bullied those who didn't into picking them too. It turns out, the women in these sports are usually not the ones ashamed to show off their bodies.

    I do wonder how much this precedence keeps women who are a little less happy to show skin to pursue sports in general.

    They're not being made to wear this. There is no rule that prevents them from wearing other running clothes.

    And not to put too fine a point on it, but everyone else on the track was wearing two pieces with better coverage. Pretty sure this was a deliberate choice.

    Brother. We are not in the 30s where we force women to wear clothes. They are probably given an option, and they’d probably wear even less if given that chance, have you ever even been to a gym ?!

    Full of women with a choice, wearing the skimpiest clothes they could find.

    Lane six trip starts at 22.3 seconds, it looks like her right quad gave up. There's a patch on it already. Looks like she couldn't pull her right leg forward any more. Really fucking shit injury for a runner to have.

    People keep saying that these outfits are sexualising the runners, but they're purposely designed to make them run faster, since they can't wait to finish the race and change out of them.

    As a woman who used to race, the fucking racing outfits are so misogynistic, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. Like why are we running in bathing suits while the men get actual shorts???

    I don’t really understand why women’s track sportswear has gotten smaller, and smaller over the years. There’s a certain point where it doesn’t really make much of a difference, and it certainly doesn’t look comfortable.

    At age 71 I really feel for the girl who tripped seconds from the finish. I tripped about a month ago and stumbled forward ten feet before going down hard on cement bricks and I still feel the after effects today.

    MildlyFunny is the fact that both athletes next to her couldn't finish their race. The one on the right screwed her start and the one on the left fell before the line. Maybe she has some kind of anime aura that keep screwing her oponents run
