I have always felt that they should use athletes instead of swimsuit models, and tri and swim suits instead of string bikinis.<br /><br />The fizik ad is extreme, but these guys are elite athletes. I am sure that picture was taken during race season, maybe even at Kona, so they are at peak race weight.FLATOUT JIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629083282268609213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-329607661499144132010-05-18T09:55:21.747-05:002010-05-18T09:55:21.747-05:00I think there is nothing wrong with the ad, they a...I think there is nothing wrong with the ad, they are the elite of the sport, people who actually follow and know the sport will agree they look great, outsiders or less informed people will think they look unhealthy based on "media controlled" of what an "athelte" should look like.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-57499036734814284962010-05-17T17:07:52.827-05:002010-05-17T17:07:52.827-05:00I think generally speaking people are a bit sensit...I think generally speaking people are a bit sensitive. I think people should relax and just enjoy the human body at its finest.

Who cares what they look like it is how they perform. Fizik probably loves the fact that everyone is talking about the ad.

They look just what the ad advertises... committed! They are the true endurance athletes and definitely not just models!Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476841866817839265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-89095209462287638132010-05-17T08:20:24.782-05:002010-05-17T08:20:24.782-05:00I think they look very healthy and fit.

I would actually size them up if I saw them at a competition and tell myself to try and stay on their tails during the race!<br /><br />You can tell they are endurance athletes.Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.com
