Athletes or Showgirls? Empty Athletes or Showgirls?

You tell me that all athletic costumes and accessories are designed specifically to enhance the performance of that particular sport, and I’ll believe you — I’m useless with anything involving a ball, a javelin, a hurdle, a kneepad. But if that’s the case, why do the male beach volleyball players compete in long shorts and loose tank tops, while their female counterparts are in bikinis? Why are female hurdlers in essentially underpants, and men in mid-thigh shorts? You tell me whether Simone Biles’s powerful routines would be any less physically impressive if she completed them in a solid-color unitard?
