Actually, it's figure skating outfits that are revealing, not speed skating outfits.
And is it really true that a lot of athletes have friends from other countries? If so, I don't know why I don't see it that often... hearing about the friendship between America's Lindsey Vonn and Germany's Maria and Susanne Riesch was only the first time I ever heard about something like that. I've heard that the Vonns stay over at the Riesches' home for the holidays.
