A Swimsuit is Better Than Steroids: Just ask Olympic Swimmer Katie Hoff
Fast Company features Katie Hoff on the cover of this special double issue in her high-tech swim wear.
“She was 15 years old at her first Olympic Games, in Athens. Now, at 19, Katie Hoff is looking to Beijing, and experts are calling her the “female Michael Phelps.”
She has nothing to worry about these games. (But, her eyes look scared – don’t they?)
She’ll be wearing this Speedo LZR Racer swimsuit, which compresses her body at key points to reduce form drag, making her smaller and faster in the water.
The dark, NASA-tested panels also shed water.
