The US speedskating team has asked Olympic officials in Sochi for permission to abandon the Under Armour suits that may be contributing to underwhelming results on the ice. The Wall Street Journal reports that US team representatives made the request earlier today, though theres no guarantee that a switch will be made — even if they get the OK. Others are determined to stick with Under Armours solution, which has been described as the fastest speedskating suit ever made. But an apparent flaw with the suits design is reportedly letting in extra air and creating unwanted drag for skaters.
