Well, Nike’s new women’s Olympic Track And Field uniforms seemingly show it all! These uniforms are going to be incredibly revealing for these athletes–and they aren’t happy about it.
This is just the latest example of jersey fails, following the awful rollout of new baseball uniforms from Fanatics. See what these new outfits look like below. I can see why they aren’t happy!

People online from the comments section to The Guardian are calling the uniforms “sexist.” The uniform will have women scantily clad compared to their male counterparts. Now, the athletes are sounding off against the new uniforms.
Lauren Fleshman, the US champion in the 500m in 2006 and 20210 said on Instagram, “I’m sorry, but show me one WNBA or NWSL team who would enthusiastically support this kit. 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. Women’s kits should be in service to performance, mentally and physically. If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it.” See the Instagram post below.
It’s not hard to understand what Fleshman is saying. It would be hard to focus on the task at hand if I was worried about being exposed to an international audience. This is the biggest moment in their careers and they shouldn’t have anything on their mind but competing and trying to earn that medal. They’ve fought their whole lives to get there, and it would be horrible to botch it because you aren’t comfortable in your assigned uniform.
According to The Guardian, Tara Davis-Woodhall, an American athlete, commented on the uniforms saying, “Wait my hoo haa is gonna be out.” Despite all the backlash and reaction to the uniforms, some people are still finding the silver lining to all of it and finding humor in the situation. However, there will be alternatives to those not comfortable with these uniforms. Nike has commented and said they have also offered unitard options with both a brief and a short for the Olympics.
5 Extreme Red Bull Sports That Should Be In The Olympics
The Summer Olympics will take place in Paris, France this Summer! Unfortunately, there’s not much to look forward to this year. There aren’t many well-known athletes competing in the games this year. Ratings aren’t expected to be great this time around. However, there is a way to bring a huge amount of viewers to the TV to watch the games. It will just require some changes to the games. Here are 5 extreme Red Bull sports that should be in the Olympics!
These extreme sports will likely not be in the games any time soon. However, if they want good ratings they should definitely add these sports to the lineup.
5 Extreme Red Bull Sports That Should Be In The Olympics
The Paris games kick off Friday, July 26th and it will conclude on August 11th. At the 2024 Paris Games, there will be swimming, archery, rhythm gymnastics, tennis, diving, wrestling, and more. Sound exciting? Yeah, didn’t think so. However, if they added some extreme sports, things would probably be more interesting! Honestly, right now the thing I’m looking forward to seeing the most are cool shots of Paris. It’s a beautiful city. The competition? Not very exciting this time around.
Red Bull Sports have been making waves for a while now. They’ve done some very extreme stuff that has gone viral. Some of the things they’ve done have never been attempted before, and probably never will be again. That’s the kind of activity I want to see at the games! I can watch people swim in any public pool at any time during the summer months. These extreme sports are much harder to find.
Seriously, they should consider doing this. It’s not like they’d struggle to find athletes to compete in the games. There are people doing daring stunts and participating in extreme sports in every country in the world, I imagine. Additionally, people love watching this kind of stuff! It’s time to update the games a little. We need to bring them into the 21st century. How do we do that? Extreme sports. Here are 5 Red Bull sports I’d like to see integrated into the Olympics.
Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
