In August 10th, American player Mai Phelps won the championship in the men's 400 meter individual medley final with 4 points, 03 seconds and 84, and broke the world record.

It is believed that when Phelps plunged into the pool at the moment when his dream hit 8 Olympic swimmers, the new shark skin swimsuit on him helped him a lot.

It is undeniable that competition clothing is one of the decisive factors in the Olympic Games.

Its technology content can affect athletes' psychology and mood, and help athletes create good results.

Swimming coach Shi Xiaoming believes that if athletes wear high-tech clothes to participate in the competition, they will be more confident, that is effective.

The magic "four skins of shark skin" swimsuit, I wonder if it is just that its technology content has affected the athletes' psychology and mood, but it really raises a round of clothes changing storm at the edge of the swimming pool.

Chinese swimmers chase shark skin

The "shark skin four generation" bathing suit, which was released earlier this year, has been well known in the international swimming arena as Phelps has broken dozens of world records.

In the 8 weeks before the opening of the Olympic Games, the Chinese Swimming Association hopes SPEEDO will provide swimmers needed for the Beijing Olympic swimming competition for the Chinese swimming team.

SPEEDO marketing department staff said: "because NIKE has a long-term sponsorship contract with the Chinese swimming team, this cooperation is the consensus reached by the two brands for the Chinese swimming team in the case of NIKE permission: NIKE as the main sponsor, allowing the Chinese national swimming team to freely choose swimsuits, and SPEEDO as the fina partners to provide swimsuits free of charge."

Since the swimsuit is in short supply, the time required by the China Swimming Association to bring swimsuits to SPEEDO is too urgent. At the moment, it can only guarantee a 29 person list for the Chinese swimming team to provide 2 swimmers per person.

New fabrics bring winning opportunities.

Although the Chinese swimming team does not want to reveal how much improvement can be made after wearing shark skin, it can be imagined if a national team can give up commercial sponsorship in exchange for 58 swimsuits.

According to the publicity materials of SPEEDO, LZR RACER has proved that the new swimsuit can reduce the resistance by 4% and reduce the oxygen consumption by 5% and the result by 2%.

This is almost half the distance of body position.

The test results show that swimmers wearing new swimsuits reduce the consumption of 5% oxygen compared with the general swimmers. The swimmer needs less power to achieve the desired speed.

The cost of a shark skin for the four generation is about 7000 yuan, but its life is poor only 6 times.

Because of the wearing of high-grade swimsuit after each use, its fiber material will wear out, and its material is special, so the best use frequency of swimsuit is only 6 times.

After that, the swimsuit's function will be reduced, and its elasticity will also be reduced. This is not conducive to the best level of athletes.

Beijing Olympic Games, with Phelps and Hackett as the representative of many swimming swimmers dressed in a "shark skin", even not SPEEDO's signing athletes of the Japanese Frog King Kosuke Kitajima changed before the game.

Is the "shark skin" that is becoming more and more deified?

In any case, SPEEDO, a high-tech company, has seized the golden opportunity to make a fortune. This is the best return for SPEEDO's joint research effort of the US aerospace agency and the Australian fluid laboratory, which took 3 years and cost millions of pounds.

New costume materials come on the stage

All the heroes in the Olympic Games brought the magic weapon of victory, and the new materials of sportswear came out in great numbers.

In such a competition, the biggest winner is undoubtedly a businessman with advanced technology.

The domestic clothing materials industry is marveling at the magic of high-tech products such as shark skin four generation, while pondering the future development direction of new clothing materials.

The development of "four generations of shark skin" is a large scale system project.

It is a breakthrough of SPEEDO in swimsuit design and innovation. It is a high-tech product which has been researched and experimentation for many years by Aqualab, a full-time laboratory, including scientists, biologists, shark experts, computer costume design experts, swimming coaches and athletes.

Multidisciplinary collaboration is the "soft rib" of the domestic garment industry.

Back to the Olympic Games in Beijing today, the weather in Beijing in August is very hot, and sportswear is good for air permeability and perspire. This is the most important requirement for athletes.

Audiences are convinced that athletes' colorful professional costumes have high technological content in the Olympic Games.

But how much of this was developed by our own China?

Take Beijing for nearly two years, the Municipal Science and Technology Commission has successively supported many garment enterprises to carry out R & D projects. Through the full cooperation between the Central Academy and local enterprises in the past few years, a number of new production, learning and research entities have been formed.

In the "technology fashion - new technologies, new materials, new designs, new life exhibitions" activities sponsored by capital technology group, many scientific research units in Beijing have demonstrated the new materials and technological achievements independently developed in the textile field.

For example, the PA6/E blended Sea Island microfiber developed by Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, the water-soluble hemostatic material developed by the Beijing Textile Science Institute and the hemp products of the hemp research center of the General Logistics Department of the PLA have high commercial value.

But these
