      Yes, what a gig! My shiffon scarves are still drying on the radiator.



      More seriously, being overwhelmed by water is one of the scariest things that can happen. Glad you were ok @cactus_girl

        Ages ago there were patterns for knitted swim suits. You can imagine what happened when they got wet and heavy.

              As aerodynamics matter in most Winter Olympic events, wouldn't shrinking it be more useful. :biggrin:

              I'm not sure I understand the physics of flight, but knobbly bits generally slow things down, I'd have thought.

                Thank you for that.
                My first thought was it's a filler therefore probably quite a thick solution, so a bigger needle would be used.

                  I'd have thought the cold weather would have sufficed.
                  Apparently it smooths out the crotch area giving better air flow.

                    I take it that applies to pole vaulters?

                          I may have read it wrong, but I understood that the er bigger size meant that the suit was a bit bigger, when measured during qualifying. Then ‘things’ would return to normal by the time of the actual competition, meaning the suit had a bit more slack in it. Even that little bit of extra material could act like a mini wing and allow the skier to stay in the air longer. Sounds a bit desperate to me!

                            Maybe before resorting to painful injections, competitors could sneakily employ the services of what I believe is known as a ‘fluffer’ before having their suits measured!
