    Do these uniforms serve any special purpose? Not sure how motorcycle leathers help with target shooting

      Tbf Jack was banned for some supplement which she stupidly didn't check while trying to become an influencer on Instagram.

      In her submission to the CAS she couldn't identify the substance.

      Which shows she had no farking idea and was more Instabimbo than State-sponsored drug cheat.

        Alternatively it's a convenient line to protect one's source and generate the perception so that she 'did not come across to the Sole Arbitrator as someone who would intentionally cheat by deliberately taking a Prohibited Substance'...

          It's amazing how easily athletes figure out (retrospectively) how a banned substance got in their system. Almost like they have the excuse pre-planned.

            Certainly the Turk missed the memo.

            I wonder if the structure of the clothing helps minimise movement.

              Traditional, more than anything. Leather shooting jackets have been around for years. However you can see how they cleverly use the trousers as a stiff platform for elbow. So yeah it helps minimise movement

                    Top 3 qualify. Zoe looked comfortable. Hopefully a PB in the SF.

                                  Swimming would be more interesting with doggy paddle. Marchand would still win though.

                                    And "3 EX 3"?

                                    3 BY 3 is so much easier to say?
