An entirely subjective decision by judges targeting women for the clothing they wear. Too loose. Too tight. Baggy. Form fitting,

BTW: Didn't you win a gold star for internet grammar trolling?

Not sure what you are talking about but my one and only guess is that "ski-tight" means skin tight.

The Olympics: where randos suddenly become experts on the rules of sports they watch once every four years. 

Unless you provide some compelling evidence that actually quotes the rulebook, I think I'll take the decision of the Olympic officials over the opinion of some dude on the internet. Officials certainly aren't above making mistakes, but you'll need a significantly more compelling argument to convince anyone that the experts erred and you are right. 

All this talk of "they let them do it before" is weak sauce. They got away with it, and next time they didn't.

Which poster on a running forum is gonna start claiming tight spandex turns baggy after a few days' use? Okay I know it starts out baggy on some of you

It was the purely subjective "rule" used to ban someone from competing. Never mind that the outfits leading to the ban were allowed to be used during qualifying.

You are in danger of losing you trolling gold star.

an the women again think they should get away with breaking the rules because they are female. the males have the same rules and were fine. Also breaking the rules beforehand and getting away with it isnt an argument to do the same here. really weak.

You accept the the "qualified" judges allowed the suits this weekend. And they can randomly change their mind at any time.

This was a mixed team event. Not a single man was banned for using the same style outfits.

As I said, quote the rulebook. Show us what procedure they violated.

You failed to quote anything supporting your opinion. Do that first. Post the details of the violation. How is loose clothing measured? How many pounds of pull are used to determine a suit is too loose? What points on a body are used to pull the suit and measure the looseness?

You will find nothing. The "rule" is entirely subjective. Males using the same suits on the same team were not flagged.

By the way: who is "we"? How many names are you posting under?

Who is *"us"?

The only opinion I've stated is that you've failed to provide evidence to back up your argument. 

You're the one trying to convince people of something. The burden is on you to make the case. You haven't.

yes because the males actually sticked to the rules while the females tried to cheat and got called out at last.

Yes, I know you are trolling.

Provide your evidence of the exact details of rule violated. Crying the suit was too loose is a failure on your part. How much? How is it determined? Why are guys on the team wearing the same suits not flagged? ... Your answer is: "I am Elvin and I don't have a clue."

Stick to the rules by wearing the exact same suit made by the same company.

To paraphrase Elvin: Prove to "us" that the mean stuck to the rules while only women cheated.

the *men*
