| | SPEEDO(R) Introduces FASTSKIN FSII Ice Speed Suit for 2006 Winter Olympics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | Speedo's FASTSKIN fabric, first created to reduce friction drag for swimmers and scientifically based on sharkskin, has been modified on the FASTSKIN FSII Ice so as to reduce drag based on the airflow direction unique to the three sledding sports. |
 | | The suit's "second-skin fit" provides the athlete with a greater feel for both the sled and the track, allowing the athlete to better sense the subtle adjustments needed during competition. |
 | | "Speedo's dominance in the water is built around a research and development process that engages the world's best swimmers," said Sheree Waterson, president, SPEEDO(R) North America. |
