Another tidbit... from Adam Duvendeck, VSP Director... And on another note, the London Velodrome leaks. Interestingly, the velodrome in Anadia Portugal leaked and the masters world championships were delayed until the track dried.
Leaks Can’t Stop High-Tech Hot-Pants
Not even a rain storm can cool off the British track cycling success with their hot pants.
The British Olympic track cycling team has already won 4 gold medals on their home track, and they credit much of their success to the newly unveiled special battery powered hot pants for the occasion of the Olympic Games.
The pants are designed to keep the muscles in the legs at an optimum 38 degrees (C) from the time the cyclists finish their warm up to the last possible pre-race moment. They have quick release zippers which allow the British team to take them off in an instant. The scientists, along with its maker Adidas maintain that the pants will change cycling, much like high tech suits have changed swimming, and will be adopted by other sports. Despite leaks in the ceiling of the Pringle which have left parts of the infield wet, the rain storms outside haven’t been able to cool down the hot knickers of the British.
