    I mean kinda yeah. People destroy their bodies and minds for trivial stuff all the time. If someone wants to blow their heart up for glory that's their perogative. I've chosen long term emotional damage to be in the game industry. To each their own what tradeoffs they want in life and a lot of Olympians clearly are in the obliterate body camp so I say let them it's their body

    No, the article says the rules afford suit material based on factors including 3D modeling of their crotch (not joking). Some athletes are injecting hyaluronic acid to temporarily bulk up their bulges during measurement to gain more suit material and potentially lift, like a flying squirrel.
