I like this one, from 1992 Olympics, I think.

Got to be a 1.5 inch brief.

Default US champion

Most likely it is Tom Jager - seven Olympic medals and gold at Seoul 1988.
Coaching now at Washington
(I would guess 2 rather than 1.5 for his swim brief)

It is. I did a comparison with the Aussiebum 1.5 Classic and it looks about the same. The tan lines show he's used to wearing less brief suits.

great pics.

I would have to say that the suit is more of 2" rather than 1.5".

Although the "cut" that follows thru to the buttocks can make a BIG difference. If the cut follows thru to where it takes away fabric from the buttocks, then even a 2 inch suit will look more like 1.5 inch; the flip to that can have the opposite effect.

Yeah, see what you mean, though haven't 1.5 suits been worn in competitive swimming before?

I myself have not seen too many guys wearing 1.5 suits worn in a competitions.

Hopefully a trend will start!

Got a butt shot of at least a partial 'lope on their AgonSwims.
