The uniforms designed by Nike for the USA women’s Olympic track and field team have been met with harsh criticism from current and former athletes alleging an unnecessarily skimp design and sexist undertones that have drawn the ire of women across the world, including those on competing Olympic teams.

Nike on Thursday offered a sneak peak of the track and field unitards at an event in Paris—the host city of the 2024 summer olympics—that featured a men's uniform of a compression tank-top and mid-thigh shorts and a woman's bodysuit that was cut notably high on either leg.

The unitards were immediately slammed for their revealing down-there cut and looking like they would require “some complicated intimate grooming,” as the New York Times put it.

Olympic hurdler Queen Harrison Claye suggested the European Wax Center should sponsor Team USA this Olympic season, and Femita Ayanbeku, a two-time Team USA Paralympian, commented on Instagram, "This is clearly a joke."

Abigail Irozuru, a long jumper from England, shared a photo with the comment: "Was ANY female athlete consulted in this team kit?!?” Sha’Carri Richardson, two-time World Championship gold medal sprinter, modeled the fashion at the event but wore the compression shorts version of the outfit.

Nike did not respond to Forbes’ request for comment but John Hoke, the chief innovation officer for Nike, told the Times the two uniforms displayed Thursday were just one of several options that will be available for athletes.

Hmm, they have a point

wait till we get a gold medal first la…

now u know people will criticize about EVERYTHING

every country is the same...criticize their own and say how good other's are

This

So malaysia is no problem

O wai

later taliban see cannot tahan.

No bush allowed

If betoi, no class. Nothing new.

basically they need to botakkan bawah

woo semakin sikit kain
baek pakai vigina pad + tits sticky pad jer.

Got real model photo or not... How to judge like this... Lol

That is sexy? Original Olympics have everybody naked doing their sports.

We should demand they return back to their original root!

have to be honest, that is a bit too revealing

Every country and religion have their own currybun.

syukur got people sponsor la. tak suka can go buy yourself

Only Puas will complain

But in this case, some athletes themselves complain. However, it’s just one of the options. They can opt for longer version if they want

Hope they proceed with this, then ayam got mood to watch Olympic Games hahahaha

Bukan Puas kali ini.

Only that is not a swimming suit.
The right image is the women's track and field uniform.

should wear tudung labuh & purdah.

these uniforms are optional right?



you all really bising for nothing here

serious q
why wimmin must skimpy? why cannot follow like men? cover down until above the knee?
any scientific reason?

It's just one of the options. There is another option where it is not like a swimwear but longer until above knees but usually the short distance runners prefer this type of sportswear.

sikit lagi can nampak

How is that sexy? Those garments are designed for speed in mind.

ok mah.. can cuci mata apa salah???

The cutting it too high up and make it easily wardrobe malfunction

real people dont have? why still using Kamdar model?

Actually why can't they make the design between male and female similar? Except for swimming, don't see why they have to design as such.

Maybe some girls like to wear sexy. But this is a bit too much.
I think ok to have 2 designs but let the girls choose which type the girls want (a sexy and non sexy version like men design)

There’s actually 2 design. There’s one that is longer until above knee like shorts but some athletes like this type because it improves their performance but this one overdo it as it might lead to wardrobe malfunction.

Tak suka tutup mata lor

Before this swimming have sexy outfit. Now track and field have sexy outfit and swimming not sexy anymore.

design is more for Aero purpose...lagi sikit kain..lagi laju...

Lari lari then bunch up into the crack.

Swimmers at one point went full body suit to take advantage of fabric materials to reduce drag. Dunno if that's been banned or still ongoing.

Salah. Boikot budaya kito.

Harus boikot

Those materials are strong, and the design is performance based. And usually it is custom made and there's not much room for error.

In fact a loser cutting will make it easier for wardrobe malfunction.

I think it’s not about lose cutting but the cutting is too high until it’s like swimwear

Should just do Borat style

Original Olympics when first started all naked onli. Shd rejoice can cover up. Muslim countries will total cover up as usual for the women if they can actually participate.

Must shave

I doubt Americans don’t shave. Only Asians don’t shave.

Don’t know why but everytime talk about shave, my first thought is the girls with Edison 😝

I wonder how our track and field attire looks like.

Did we have anyone who qualified for Olympics?

That's the point. They have other options but still complaining the clothes that they won't wear.

I think they prefer the short one but the short one design is a bit over.

Good point. I don’t know if there is any
