Olympic history is filled with examples of athletes trying to get an edge, but few could have predicted so much controversy at the 2022 Winter Olympics because of baggy clothing.
Five athletes were disqualified for the ski jumping mixed team competition in Beijing because of loose-fitting clothing, per Jay Busbee of Yahoo Sports.
Not using the correct apparel could give competitors a significant advantage in ski jumping, especially if it catches the wind. Someone using a wingsuit would probably set world records if allowed.
The latest disqualifications were still unprecedented at this level, especially after the same outfits were already cleared a day earlier.
