"This is a joke, right?" asked user @MaureenWRC. "Running in that outfit will gather the material in the centre exposing everything. Why can’t the women wear the same thing as the men?"
Lauren Fleshman, the former U.S. National Champion runner, took to Instagram to slam Nike's uniforms. The athlete said what many of us are thinking out loud – that these uniforms are putting women's bodies on full display for the public. "I’m sorry, but show me one WNBA or NWSL team who would enthusiastically support this kit," she said. "This is for Olympic Track and Field. Professional athletes should be able to compete without dedicating brain space to constant pube vigilance or the mental gymnastics of having every vulnerable piece of your body on display." ....
U.S. long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall commented on Instagram as well, concerned that her vagina will show. “Wait my hoo haa is gonna be out," she said.
