If this is the biggest controversy of these Olympics, they have little to worry about!

What is the title of your book? Are there photos?

I was on the swim team at university and I would have found it humiliating to have to wear such a skimpy outfit in public. Although the original Olympians used to compete in the nude. But that was then.
Some of the men’s swimming competitions wear them🤭

I saw her book at Barnes and Noble. It's called "How I became a Social Justice Warrior"

The only men that would disagree with you, are the same sexist/misogynistic types (ie: the IOC members who initiated the fines) that get a prurient thrill ogling women - as if they were just a piece of meat. Beyond disgusting.

My take is they don’t want to lose men and women viewers. Let’s face it, these men and women have bodies that don’t quit. However; I find the shorts are much less offensive than these glorified G strings they are required to wear. IMO

Good for the ladies! It's supposed to be an athletic competition - not a skin show

I totally agree. The bottom riding up is annoying.

The singer Pink is paying the fine for the team which I think is great!

They’re athletes not working at Hooters.

I agree with Nick. It shouldn't matter what they wear. Should be their decision. I hate the skimpy bikinis myself. They shorts look much better.

It’s all about money, plain and simple. Put hot young women in bikinis and men will watch.

Belly button display was original objection to Bikini on French Riviera alla Bridget Bardot. They all show theirs in the Pic so what's the beef?
