Call me dumb but I would want to watch more flight time, not less. They need a rudder to do backflips and spirals.

Let them have wing suits. I wann see the camera people have to work for it when they have to track the skiers into the parking lot.
Or suits so good at flight camera people need to also be pro ski jump++ level to keep up with them. Better, actually, because they have to do it while keeping the athlete in frame on a camera.
How about a parking lot...no, better a church right in the center. You jump, then you must fly all the way thru the center area. Those who don't make it...well they get to church on time. Those who do win and then for extra points you have to needle thread thru the little holes at to top of the bell tower...but without hitting the bell. You hit the bell and you're out! Double points if you can make one of the church goers freak out and start really believing, not this Sunday mass shit.
Oh look the competitive advantage all the morons think transwomen have..
Athletes enlarge size of genitalia
By injecting acid at the site right before measuring, allegedly.
So they are tripping balls during fitting?
Different type of acid, listed in a nearby comment iirc
I know, I was making a joke
:)
It does it when it wants, I can't really control it.
Hell yea
Years ago, they took a Canadian snowboarder's medal away after testing positive for marijuana citing it was a "performance enhancing drug." Which is bullshit, unless they had a giant chocolate bar waiting right beyond the finish line.
Yes, actually. Michael Phelps (American swimmer) was rumored to smoke weed so he could get the munchies and consume more food, giving him extra calories to burn training.
It could also be that they were using marijuana as an illicit pain reliever.
I think he just likes smoking weed, but I like it being couched as giving him some competitive advantage. I swam, and knew a couple ladies who supposedly smoked some weed with him. They were better swimmers than me, so I was not invited of course.
Often when I'm stoned I enter the flow state easier. I can also get way more into my own head and not be able to get into the flow at all.
AND it doubles as a rudder!
Maybe just let people make the flap as big as they want. That way it's not cheating if it's part of the technique/strategy.
So is Viagra legal during sports, or do they have to get surgery?
AFAIK they are injecting themselves something, no idea whether the enlargement is permanent, or just temporary.
Temporary
male ski jumpers have allegedly been injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to gain a competitive advantage at the 2026 Winter Olympics
Googled cause I wonder what was going on. WTH is hyaluronic acid and why does this sound like a villain origin story?
It's the stuff they use as filler to get rid of wrinkles and get fuller lips.
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most common ingredients in moisturizers, it holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
First time hearing about it being injected into pps.
