One of the interesting effects of the increased participation in women's
sports (title 9 related?) is that the (provenly successful) woman 
athletes
don't look an awful lot like the supposedly in-shape women of previous
generations.  One gets the feeling fashion has been abandoned in the

these
days a typical collegiate gymnast looks mostly buff and sturdy
