What's the deal with that clear plastic "girdle" thing that some of the speed skaters are wearing over their outfits?
If you haven't seen it, it starts at the top of the belly and goes down to the mid-thigh. The area of the inner thighs & groin is not covered by this film. It's worn on the outside of the outfit and is clear & shiny. It's definitely not unique to a single country and I've seen the same country's "uniform" both with and without this "girdle".
