what is a 'pinney?' CurtEastPoint Feb 2022 #2

The bib they wear over their clothing with the Olympic logo and identifying number. n/t PoliticAverse Feb 2022 #3

Ah! 'pinafore' I guess. Thanks CurtEastPoint Feb 2022 #6

I think they do that to make them tighter and not flap around and catch wind. n/t PoliticAverse Feb 2022 #4

and free style skiers. They wear the baggy clothes and many wear their penney's off one shoulder.

Funny, I was just commenting to hubby that they'd probably be more aerodynamic if they wore sleeker clothes.
