    Hyaluronic acid, which is not banned in sport, can be used to increase penis circumference by one or two centimetres.

    This would increase the surface area of their suits during competition, which, according to FIS, the international ski and snowboard federation, could increase their flight in the air.

    "Every extra centimetre on a suit counts. If your suit has a 5% bigger surface area, you fly further," said FIS ski jumping men's race director Sandro Pertile.

    so women ski faster?

    shit like this proves we have a very long way to go before we are an evolved species

    The article is about ski jumping, not racing. This will be the first year the women are allowed to compete on the larger hill, so we’ll see, though I suspect their lower average body weight will mean they’ll carry less momentum into air.

    What if the athlete gets a boner while in the air?

    I think they would fly much shorter. Smaller body, most women in sports have smaller breasts, no package = much less surface area.

    Oh man I miss Jenna Marbles. I haven’t watched her in a decade easy.

    In any case, she is mostly wrong here. Breast size is dependent on a lot of factors, and for those at the Olympics their breasts are much more likely to be much smaller than average. This is a result of training, high testosterone, and genetic body type. Yes bras do affect things, but the top athletes are just more likely to have smaller breasts because that’s how science works. That doesn’t mean that top athletes can’t have larger breasts, it just means it’s less likely.

    No, it isn’t for steering.

    Injecting acid into your penis so you can jump a tiny bit further is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of. I fucking hate this planet.

    I wonder if the commentators point out which athletes look like they may or may not have used the injections.......
