Speedo launches LZR RACER

[sdh106]

I miss bodysuits in swimming :(

[mein70740]

可惜被禁了。

[xenix146]

but the competitions is about who swims faster not who has the best suit that makes you go faster than others without you having any actually good skill

[VampirateBloodR8]

But, it's getting faster if you only use underwear. Only 1% fraction than speedo by 10% and following by naked 0.5%.

[ItachiUchiha1902]

Where can i find it? I can't find any site available since fina disapproved it? Can anyone help me please?

[asofu720]

@ItachiUchiha1902 FINA Banned it

[cargalpi]

@ItachiUchiha1902 try ebay from different countries, you may find it...

[mohalfur]

kinda feel like its no longer the swimmer.......but fuck this suite is the shit

[sadlydogscantfly]

i have a lzr its like a normal girls suit though it feels like paper! you can only wear like 10 times!

[TheSpeedoUSA]

This suit is amazing!

[BabeayLanitaaj634]

[batra10]

isnt this cheating?

[ihaterobbie123]

@batra10 Isn't any suit cheating?

I say it's all or nothing, either have them swim naked or let them use any suit they want which is direction-neutral (i.e. Doesn't favour movement in a certain direction) and doesn't have a propulsion system.

The motive behind banning the suit was that it enabled swimmers to go faster than a human can possibly go. The problem with this reasoning is that almost any swim suit does that.

[Ohiostatebuckeyes35]

anyone try the new speedo lzr racer pro jammer? I was thinking about getting one. Do you think it would be better than an fs pro?

[superredlion123]

i got 1 of them but it is expensive

[DromeG60]

1:41 phhwwoooosshh

[Soymilllk]

TOO BAD ITS ILLEGAL NOW LOL

[tried12usernames]

@Soymilllk it's banned from competition usage. you can buy one and wear it and go swimming, it's not illegal in the true sense of the word. i'm kind of trolling, so nvmd, i know what you mean

[00malo]

What's the name of the female swimmer ???

[SpartanSoccer579]

@00malo Natalie Coughlin

[overzealousarborist]

i think the spirit of the olympics is that anyone in the world can compete. This is why running and swimming are olympic sports. As such I think it's unfair when athletes from richer countries get high tech suits and others can't. Therefore they should make people swim naked.

[alexpettyfer12]

@overzealousarborist or everyone just wears the same basic suit...

[overzealousarborist]

@alexpettyfer12 yeah I was mostly being sarcastic but yeah, making everyone where basic gear is the fairest way



[eggsinc1]

it doesn't take an hour to get on.. only like15 minutes

they also didnt ban them. your just not allowed to where anything plastic so no zipper suits and no full body suits but they make the LZR in knee pro and eliete

[jonnym331]

there sick but its kinda good they were banned cause there so exspensive

[kingofkings1009]

the jammer is banned too

[DromeG60]

Banned :(

[m173627]

lol 2:00 Danny Zucco from Grease!

[illsurviveatanycost]

BANNED!! same as blue seventy's.. i miss mine =[ =[

[gusthebus96beast]

gwet the new lzr

[minimattau]

because of this suit is why all the good suits were banned

[zGlueStickz]

ya finis banned them and my highschool team bout 10 and we had to sell them back but now im gettin the lzr racer jammer which should b pretty tight for sections and state

[ckproductionsinc]

ive got one. but it stinks becuz finis banded them

[LnahS]

@ckproductionsinc why did them ban em?

[ILiveINwater]

i want one!!

[bennyboy1382]

I was wondering if I could use this video in a powerpoint that I am doing for a school project. Does anyone know how to do this??

[tanger345]

dude copy and paste!!!!!!!

[judoman66]

copy the ULR to the right and paste it on your powerpoint

[sillyjesus]

how come it mutes?

[goldfinger123]

Jaked is banned (what a shame :( )

But speedo do all this tests including help from NASA scientists o.O and spent lots of money in publicity.

But jaked just come, and put a better suit...

[undeadman2]

jaked and blue seventy has just been approved :D

[goldfinger123]

Yeah, i read about it.

That's really ridiculous, they cant play with the rules like that

I rate FINA ¬¬

[undeadman2]

yea, my guess is that they have been sued and has been demanded to pay a refund for all the suits brands like Blue seventy and jaked can't sell.. And that would be why they just approve any suits atm ;)

Just my guess :D

[goldfinger123]

Yeah, thats my guess too

The suits was the principal products from jaked and speed.

They gonna lose lots of money if the suits get banned

[jlacus]

But my guess is. once they sort things out, almost every suit will be banned.

[MVPacMan23]

nope, jaked just got banned.

[RSGuides577]

Jaked isnt better, its just pure polyurethane which makes is far more buoyant. This is why it is getting banned. The LZR is much more aerodynamic

[maxxxkiller]

"aerodynamic",uh?? swimmers don t fly

[goldfinger123]

I care cuz i swim

[iljitoto]

yh its good

i hav the jaked joo1

the blue seventy

and the speedo lzr

but i was national champ with the jaked

but now FINA reproved jaked and blue seventy

so speedo lzr wins!

[aaacacaas]

One time I talked to a lady who said Micheal Phelps didn't deserve his 8 medals because he wore a LZR which gave him an unfair advantage. Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If everyone is wearing a LZR then how is he getting an unfair advantage?

[faint9999]

Jaked is BANNED! XD sorry goldfinger, arena r-evolution FTW!

[goldfinger123]

Sorry Speedo

Jaked for the win

[iljitoto]

its true i hav the joo1 jaked

its FANTASTIC

BUT ITS BANNED

so now i use speedo lzr

[izzybizzy24]

they're amazing quality. this girl had one from my swimming club and she beat her PB by 11.39 secs! it was awesome to watch.

[Earthling16]

yeah but how long was there in between the two times?

[Skydivingkittens]

yeah but it lasts like 7 swims

[marinelove5]

in what event? 100 free or 1650? haha it makes a difference. not saying it wasnt cool to watch but.. which event yea haha

[Lucasthesuperfish]

I love mine. =)

[Tyy080]

this suit is way to over rated

[moneymaker1339]

in USA swimming there only making them illegal fro 12 and under

[warrenG54]

would it help for a high school swimmer? (me)

[eliottphil]

It helps anyone. They're thinking about making them illegal though because of the unfair advantage.

[warrenG54]

Making them illegal in high school or everywere?

[eliottphil]

High School. This year at state they were legal though, but they probably wont be next year.

[warrenG54]

Then can I still use the speedo fastskin or the fastskin pro? or is that going to be illegal too.

[eliottphil]

Just LZR

[stokesy1001]

they are now illegal arent they?

[Manoura727]

$550 for full body, not $500

my best friend has it..

[superdave31]

was this the one worn in beijing

[Codfodder]

someone want to chat

want to chat with singles Fl

[eliottphil]

I wanna fuck in in the ass.

[jonniewalke]

what is recommened to buy?The LZR RACER JAMMER or the TYR TRACER LIGHT full body? out of those 2.which would be technically better in the water?My doubt is because a jammer is too short to do the real effects SPEEDO made for the full body in my opinion, or am I wrong? Can the jammer be beter thn the FULL Tyr Tracer Light? Ive heard the LZR full lasts about 10 swims, does the jammer last longer? What about the TYR, even if not better, can it last many more swims?

[anthemrider23]

None buy the FS pro! for the money still the best suit on the market!

[SaveTheChildren87]

It cost 500 or more

[buzai12]

i like the speedo stores cuz they play trance music there

[Monatee]

WOOT

[Gr33kWaRChieF]

@buzai12 hahahahahahaha lmao

[GIUSEPPEMILILLO]

spettaolo

[smirko]

lazzzzzzzrrrr razzzzzzzzzzzzzrr ^.^

[SpeedoPureSwim]

The Speedo LZR Racer is now available to buy on Speedo's website.

[ThePsychedelicNight]

yea they're like $500 for full body, 300 for long legs, and 200 for shorts

[CoolButHot08]

it cost 565.00

[warrenG54]

how much does the swim suite cost?

[zzsyjzz]

how much secs would it competition jammer

[ceekay100]

you're right

[ceekay100]

Those suits should be forbidden. It's like all high jumpers would wear spring feathers, the numbers for all will go higher but without any point.

And you can't tell if result distortions are from doping or from the suit.

[fogaoagas]

the acual suit was manufactured in Portugal. Awesome!

[Rafdaganga]

however it was invented by an Australian

[godslover19]

... I would also have to have one

but the suit is too much...

its too expensive here in the philippines,

in fact i dont even think if its already out here....

[kristianelim]

we only have the fast-skin 1 i believe.. i usually drop by on speedo outlets but none of these are for sale..

[wakeboard023]

Just go naked then u dont have to worry....if your a woman..if u know what i mean =)

[Keiteex3]

like michael phelps, who pretty much only wears the LZR during relays to look uniformed with the rest of his team.

[dustin70707]

and if pretty much all the swimmers wear them how is it cheating, and yet someone still comes out on top

[Rafdaganga]

then why is it okay to invent new basketball shoes that make you jump higher?

[dustin70707]

it is ok

[dustin70707]

its called technological advances you retard

[chrisknows]

With that logic, you could argue that for the last 100 years, since running shoes have been more developed, all track records should also have an asterisk. All weightlifters broke the records "unnaturally" by using nutritional supplements, etc.

These suits are being sold commercially, so anybody can use them..

[emster12733]

it takes a half and hour to get it on...

with two people helping

[stevn007]

the suit may help, but its the swimmer that wake up @ 5am to train, not the suit..

it doesnt mean that anyone who wears it is gonna break records lol

[MisterOriginal182]

maybe not everyone but everyone one who wins will, or at least 85% of them....in the 4X400m the top 5 teams broke the world record..The top 5!!!! that means the 5th place team who didn't even receive a metal went faster than anybody who ever swam that race up till that point...

[tw1tch09]

science ftw

[iamthenextbest]

Mind over matter...

[CNSZU]

Are only Americans using this suit at the Beijing Olympics? If so, Michael Phelps should loose every gold medal and world record that he gets.

[bnrockstar365]

No an Irish guy Andrew Bree used it and he came second! But that was in the heats eventually he never qualified!

[ekulian]

France used them. alot of teams use them.

[ndebbiegirl]

Every team is using it.

[anikasantos]

Alot of teams are using this suit in the Olympics: USA, Australia, France... The truth is that LZR doesn't swim by itself, it's the athlete inside it that makes the difference, imo!

[Rafdaganga]

it takes about 4% of ones time. And every record breaker has wore a LZR racer except for one. But yea, you can't be s hitty swimmer and wear it and hope to win

[christiNaaaa18]

what a incredible swimming suit..for sure team usa will bug gold in olympics swimming after wearing that!!

[aj010139]

yes in the end of the day is about the swimmer and his/her abilities not suit that breaks world records. but you just can't deny that new innervation's like this make the sport more interesting and exciting.

[zhman93]

its not about the suit its about the swimmers and how howd theyve been training to acheive there goals remember that its them thats working the suit is just what they wear so stfu about the sport being taken over bye suits

[samanthaellis]

ya but say you have 2 swimmers that are going to get the SAME time exactly and then you give one of them this suit... that one wins because less drag and it is garented to shave of time even if it is just a millisecond thats all the time you need to win anyways

[BikiniBabe1985]

We don't understand your English, please speak American

[LorenLovesGreen]

How ignorant can you be? Seriously! Asking some to speak AMERICAN who clearly isn't American is such a dick move your part and an ignorant one too. Comments like that give Americans a bad rap you ignorant American.

[BikiniBabe1985]

Actually its fools without senses of humor like you that give Americans a bad rap. Clearly the comment was not serious- American is not a language! The fact that you took my comment seriously shows what a fool you are. Take a chill pill, there are actually important things in life to worry about.

[egnaro24]

it was a joke people....why are you giving her^^ thumbs down?

[BikiniBabe1985]

Another reason we should do away with the bodysuits. A swimsuit is supposed to be something that you throw on and get into the water. I loved the FS-2 recordbreaker that Amanda Beard and a number of female athletes wore in 2004.

[uconnhuskies924]

how is the suit unfair it's not like their putting HGH or steroids in the suit besides it makes better competition.

[BikiniBabe1985]

Its against the FINA rules, which explicitly state that a swimsuit is not supposed to create buoyancy. FINA is in cahoots with Speedo, so thats how they have gotten away with it. A swimsuit is supposed to be a costume not an aid. There is a reason flippers are not allowed. Bodysuits need to be banned altogether; they are overpriced and ugly. Lets return to the sexy legless swimsuits.

[anipete9]

the lzr racer was not designed to increase buoyancy; if you want a odyskin that increases buoyancy, the blueseventy is for you... in fact, many athletes at US trials wore a LZR over a blueseventy to combine the compression of the lzr and the buoyancy of the blueseventy, i.e. gil stovall

[BikiniBabe1985]

FINA's rule states: 'no swimmer shall be permitted to use or wear any device that may aid his speed, buoyancy or endurance during a competition'. The suit is no longer a costume, it is a device. It should be banned after every single record is broken during the Olympics.

[Bert9327]

i dont see what the big deal is. did anyone watch the trials? almost EVERY swimmer had this suit. there is no advantage if everyone is wearing it. i dont feel this really takes away from the competition, it only puts the world records in jeprody.

[monicaduke]

Look people, you're using faulty logic. Just because no one cried out "foul play" when the fast skin came out doesn't negate the current problem. Where does technology interfere with competition and create an unfair situation?

I mean, in cycling the rules forbid carbon fiber bikes that weigh less than 15 pounds or something, in order to prevent technology getting an edge in competition. It's great that Speedo is working w/ NASA, but there should be limits to technological doping.

[feesuiteace]

the speedo LZR cost $320 already.. is it available in the philippines now?

[FabiiD]

I do not think this suit make us lose our time making records and stuff like that, our confidence is ... We can make you feel less light weight but a swimmer is not born is done and those who can buy woow congratulations because in order to find this suit must get xD ... I separate mine ... and I come from venezuela imagine what expensive than east coast outfit ... but a swimmer was not born this becomes who agree with me?

[pinkweaselgirl]

the majority of the swimmers who are wearing this $600 suit didn't actually have to buy it...they either tested it for speedo (like a girl on my team) and got to keep it, or they are good enough to be sponsored...

[sticksrossi]

Now I think they should all use rocket boosters... the same type used on the space shuttle!

[wannablikeu]

I think its unfair IF its not equally available to all swimmers of ALL countries.

Thats like a US sprinter being allowed to wear spiked running shoes and all others not.

Competition is always more exciting with a level playing field!

[douker]

It is available to all swimmers, it is just really expensive ($500). People say that this is not fair because some swimmers will not be able to afford it. However, no one complained about the previous speedo suits, such as the FS Pro, which still goes for over $200. Certainly if people can't afford the $500 suit there are others who won't be able to buy the $200 one. At what point do you draw the line? Saying the LZR is unfair means that you think the FS I, FS II, FS Pro are ALL unfair.

[douker]

How can anyone say this suit is unfair? Where, then, do we draw the line? Fastskin Pro? FSII? FS? How are all those fair and then suddenly the LZR is unfair. Think about what you are saying.

[AlexFictionFriction]

Grant Hackett + LZR Racer = faster, thats stupidley quick!

[Rozzie102]

wow i reeeeaaly want this! awesome!

[swimonster311]

its $504 USD

[puddn76]

how much does it cost?

[spagettohayley]

i think the whole unfair thing is so stupid!!! if you pay the money for the suit then its fair. anyone can but it. i want this suit really badly

[ChessClubMusic]

how much, american, is the jammer?

[jakenos51]

do they come in legskins?

[yuandrew]

Yes, there's both a legskin and a jammer version of this. $350

[lazyboy169]

legskin is 350, jammer is only 290

[jakenos51]

hopefully it comes in limegreen

[lazyboy169]

yea, and jammer and high neck bodyskin

[pinacolada1067]

I wore the hi-neck backstroke one in Texas for my 200 back. I dropped a second: 2:21. I was sick and hadn't swum in 5 days! I'm getting that suit. It really is amazing- you couldn't understand unless you've tried it.

[funkadelic1992]

how much is it?

[3irving4]

i bought one for $350

[themanofcats]

whats the source pls?

[ZumZumBoy]

It's the best swimwear in the world.

Swimmers are the best.

+++Speedo LZR+++

[kellooo]

can i put a torpedo on my back during the beijing olympics?..hahaha

[BlackJackLanza]

Is it important to wear your dick straight up--as opposed to wearing it to the left side,as I do?? I dont like having my dick pointing straight up. I like it tucked away!

[feckmej]

I like the lzr racer, but the swimsuit alone doesn't swim...

my friend has got one in manchester and now he swam 3 new records for luxembourg:

200free: 2.51.??

100free:50.60

and 100 medley

(he's 16)

[spatan117iohgds]

how is 2.51 a record?!

[unkpku]

dude, like i go a ... a lot faster then that so 2:51? please be a typo.

[nissansxz]

i think it's unfair when u lose against a guy who wears the new speedo swimsuit, and u don't

[swimmergirlbbff]

how is it unfair? It took them like 4 years to create....it's perfectly fair. They just thought outside the box unlike other suit makers

[nissansxz]

look, popov had the world record for pretty long time i think, now bam! 2 guys broke his record with the suit! if u didn't know, the suit also lets you float! it compress your body for less drag. if its not the suit, prove it! swim with a speedo. and yeah actually the LZR is not even for sale. and it cost arround 600 bucks, damn pretty much money to spend tough

[iamvegito]

You can buy one, too.

[iluvjonas3]

how is it unfair? maybe the person who wore a lzr just trained harder. it's not just the suit.

[cowbellthunder]

There have been an unprecidented number of world record breaks wearing this suit. There's no question it's the suit that's giving them the edge.

[iluvjonas3]

its not just because it's extremely hydro dynamic. it also makes the swimmer feel faster, so if they think they're faster then usually they go a bit faster than if they feel slow. anyways they paid for the suit. nobody made a huge deal about the fastskin. why is this any different? what's wrong with hardworking swimmers breaking records?

[cowbellthunder]

I don't think the placebo effect of a new suit is enough to break 38 world records. Swimmers still have to work incredibly hard, but the problem is that since not /everybody/ has the suit, it's unfair for those who cannot get a custom suit in time for Beijing 08.

[iluvjonas3]

who cares! it's there suit. they bought it. nobody made a huge deal when the fast skin came out. just because it has a lot less resistance doesn't mean that a slow swimmer can all of a sudden be fast just by wearing this suit. it's mostly just because they feel faster, so they feel more confident and positive. do you really think a suit can make that much of a difference? the most is like a few hundredths of a second.

[jcaroal1]

... a few hundredths of a second... enough for break a world record....

[NotSoViolentToy]

While in some cases you are correct, the LZR Racer was developed to reduce drag in the most important of places. With these "sweet spots" being analized and fixed, swimmers have seen DRASTIC improvments in their times, not just being the fact that they are more motivated. You do make a good point though, by saying the feel confident, I know I do whenever I put on my leg suit (which is a Fastskin II)!

[iluvjonas3]

u sound smart

[vorkutaman]

Marketing hype!

[kozdamar]

Nice innovation. But the scientists should be getting all of the medals that those swimmers will be winning this year. Speedo racers will unarguably have an advantage this year that has nothing to do with the swimmers skill. Their win will be one of compromised integrity. If I was those swimmers I'd suggest to the IOC that all competitors get the same suit.

[kindsoul420247]

That could be done if it was a requirement to be a amatuer, but since the have allowed professional athletes, the contractual agreement get in the way.

[blee]

Who are each of the swimmers featured, in order? Sorry, I don't keep up enough to know.

[PAOliTAfAhShO]

micheal phelps, natalie coughlin[sp?], grant hackett, and a few others.

[jacksparrowlol]

yes we just have a new 100 freestyle record ( 47:50) by bernard in enidoven

[PriusRider]

Huh? Fastest suit? Well for sure the fastest SELLING suit in the world... Never forget the pychologie factor. Future will revail if it can prove what it says.

Its rare that the sports science is developing REALY now gadegeds. I only know the "superbikes" for long range cycling. They broke every world record in indoor cycling. Later the bikes were been forbitten and the records anulated.

[dfai7964]

That is amazing! What I wouldn't give to have one of those suits at a state competition.

[blacknizzle]

they said it might get banned from the olympics because of the high number of world records being broken by the people that already have them and so far the only people that have them are ppl sponsered by speedo so thats about america france and australia

[SirosTV]

no it's not, they said it's not...
