      This is how they put the “hot dog” in ski-jumping.

    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.

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