Olympic Fashion Evolutions Edit
Playboy's Visual History of Women's Swimwear

Playboy is proving that watching well-built Olympian women in swimwear has taken big steps backwards the past two Olympic games. When Speedo added its LZR Racer swimsuit this year, it covered up more skin than ever before. World records fell, but so did expectations from guys.

It’s come so far that Nike is letting its sponsored athletes wear the Speedo brand at the Beijing Games. What once was just a fashion statement has now become an integral part of a competitor’s advantage.

The models are Greenville, Michigan native Cassie Keller, 18, and Sharae Spears, 24, from Knoxville, Tennessee.
