Fina

On the evening of 25, a resolution was passed in Rome, which was used in swimming competitions since 2010.

Swimsuit

Will return to tradition

Fabric

This represents the creation of numerous world records.

Shark skin

The high-tech swimsuit as a representative will be withdrawn from the stage of history.

In May, the fina discussed the issue of high-tech swimsuit and issued the swimsuit standard. At that time, 202 swimsuits, including shark skin, were all up to standard and could continue to be used.

However, such a decision has attracted a lot of criticism. Many experts believe that high-tech swimsuit can help athletes improve their performance and violate the essence of swimming without using external force.

It is reported that the agreement on the prohibition of the use of non textiles competition clothing was launched by the American swimming association, and only 7 of the 180 members voted against it.

According to the new agreement, the materials used for swimming bathing suits starting in 2010 must be fabrics and can only cover the torso.

However, whether the rule can be passed or not, it is necessary to discuss the decision after the 28 fina meeting again.

Markku Les Cu, chief executive of the fina, said: "the world record before the implementation of the new rules will not be cancelled."
