With Mike Pigg calling him out on it! I never think the 80's were that long ago, but looking at their aerobars, mullets, and Luc VanLierde half-shirt/singlet + speedo combo...Mike Pigg with a full head of hair. Guess it was a long time ago...
I know a pro from Nederland, CO who races once a year "Old School" style in a speedo and running shoes. I can honestly tell you, he looks a lot better doing it than I would!!
When will the speedo make a comeback and replace the spandex shorts?

Oh they are--at least in college swimming. A lot of the swimmers wear them in in-season meets, and I mean the teeny bikini ones. Those guys look good, they know it, and they're not afraid to show it. It's kind of Mrs. Robinson creepy, but damn! Hey, I might be old, but I'm not dead.
Nobody has pointed out the best part about that video...the Sport Update about the NFL players offering to return from their strike. Man, that brings back memories! Go Skins...

Those skimpy little pieces of spandex is the whole point of watching swimming in high def. Best part of the Olympics is watching the swim meets with a glass of red wine. (I heart Aaron Peirsol!) IIRC, Anne Bancroft was quite the smokin' hot mama in The Graduate. She can be our heroine!

This video was taken the year after the aero bars first came out; check out the downtube shifters.
And I enjoyed the bit of Lance shooing the video moto away so he could ride over the yellow line to pass Pigg; young and brash.
