“It's unfair to previous record holders, especially for records set some time ago.”

They are not putting water jets on the new suits, the swimmer still has to power it. Technology advances and makes things better ALWAYS. What do you suggest?

Banning technology to protect the past? Should the Wright brothers have been prevented from using a motor on their glider?

Should we be participating in this forum via carrier pigeon or telegraph?

Don't answer that. Most of us probably don't know Morse code.

Sorry: I think this special equipment thing has gone too far in many sports, making it more a tech race than a sport.
