FINA approve new Jaked suits- 8 Feb 2010 00:00:00
The International Swimming Federation (FINA) has approved a new line of swimming suits designed by Italian manufacturer Jaked.
Jaked was involved in controversy before last year's World Championships in Rome when its suits, that allegedly helped to produce a number of world records, were deemed illegal and competitors were barred from wearing them in competition.
The controversy forced FINA to introduce new regulations regarding the type of suits that swimmers could wear.
But Jaked’s new designs have now been accepted, and President of Jaked, Francesco Fabbrica, claimed new records would be set by those who used them.
"The costumes that FINA have approved are made with materials that produce unique characteristics which, together, produce extraordinary results," he said.
