I have not seen any women with large breasts in any of the events:(!
Why are the women in the Olympics so flat chested?
its called a good sports bra. a lot of them are amply endowed, but they wear industrial strength workout bras. I'm a pretty good size for my small frame, but when you see me working out I look as though I'm about half or 3/4 of my actual size because of my sports bra. I've always been athletic myself, since childhood, and as I developed I learned the value of a good sports bra. I will invest real time, money and effort in buying a good sports bra. in some sports like gymnastics, they don't have large breasts bcs of how young they start out in the sport. The muscle actually pulls on the bone and keeps the person short too. I remember a guy I knew his parents would not let him pump iron until he reached a certain age, so it would not impede his growth.
When I work out a lot, or I'm very athletic, I lose my period. So imagine a girl who has worked out rigorously her whole life, she doesn't have that female hormone presence int he levels that other girls do, so hence the smaller growth.

Well I can only speak for the swimmers since I'm one but a flat chest cuts down on water resistance. I'm on a hs team and there's this girl on our rival team and we are built about the same except she has a larger chest- we are pretty close in speed but I always beat her because I'm more airodynamic. I makes a lot bigger difference than you would think.

Because they have low body fat & are mostly muscle
And because most begin training at a very young age, their body develops while they train and keep fit.
Not that life works this way, but I guess I'd rather be one of the best in the world with a flat chest than a typical fat American with a fat butt and ginormous t*ts

it's really a simple matter of human development. most olympic athletes train from a very early age (prior to puberty) as a result of the strenuous workouts certain biological developments are stunted (which can include changes in voice, growth [height], and breast development).
if you'll notice with gymnasts often times after they retire their body will catch up in the developmental process that was stunted during the period of excessive training
and that's the fact jack

The competitors in the Olympics have been working at it since before puberty. When you are working so hard, you are burning the fat. Plus, most of the sports use the chest muscles, and all the work with them keeps the breasts from developing much. It has nothing to do with them sticking out slowing her down. Or that she chooses a small chest to perform better. It is just that woking out so many hours a day keeps the fat away, and breasts are fat.

I run the 5k-10k for a D1 school, and have a 30DD chest. I used to have a 30 G but had a breast reduction out of frustration. I have worked out just as hard and just as intensely as my teammates over the years and have eaten incredibly healthy with plans from a nutritionist. In my experience breasts don't go away when you do a lot of intense workouts. The reason I think that many women are so flat chested in the Olympics is because it's hard to have big boobs in sport. I grew up alongside many runners doing the same things they did, but I just ended up with bigger boobs. Sports are really a game of genetics and boobs are on the negative side. I don't see many runners that look like me and I really do feel out of place. Do I belong here? Why don't I look like any professional runner? On top of that you have to deal with physical pain, less aerodynamics, and harassment. Many people quit after feeling discouraged. Its important to remember that many olympic athletes are fit and not healthy (there is a difference) . A healthy female body often times has boobs and a period. Being healthy is something to be proud of, and don't sacrifice your health to gain that fitness (you could end up losing much more).
For any female athlete that is looking at this forum frustrated with her body... it is hard and it is a disadvantage, but don't let it take you away from the sport. You should be doing a sport because you love it, it shouldn't matter how good you are. Learn to enjoy the sport, and be that person that helps others feel represented in sports. Hopefully we can make having big boobs a regular thing in professional sports. -
Because their bodies develop differently. Keep in mind, they've been doing this since they were little girls. Their bodies don't really... I don't know how to put it.
Take gymnastics, for example. Their bodies don't develop like a normal girls would. Usually, they don't even get periods or anything, because their bodies/hormones are different. That's why they usually have to stop once they reach a certain age, because their body starts to be like "hey, you're a girl!" And start changing.
Plus, they're wearing super, super tight uniforms. That might contribute to how small they look. -
Holy fucking shit this question is 4 years old! Hahahahahah! Dayummm.

get real. those athletes are real women- they work hard for the body they have and aren't afraid to show it. the lower your body fat percentage, and those who work out all the time and are that muscular, the more likely hood that their breasts will prob be on the small side.
-
Well, at least they have nice legs and ass. Most are very pretty as well.
-
It's because they are athletes and have turned most their fat into muscle. Breasts are made of fatty tissue. Just like when I guy takes steroids it can cause him to start growing breasts but he works them out into pecks. So it works the same way.
-
Large chests would be a major physical disadvantage in many of the events, and among both male and female athletes most of the ones who make it to that level have a particular physique that's advantageous to their sport - notice how almost all the swimmers are tall, lanky, and broad shouldered? Or how the gymnasts are mostly short, wider in the waist, and muscly?
Also, the swimwear, leotards, etc that they wear flatten their chests down quite a bit as well. -
they wear sports bra's because if they didn't their boobs would be bouncing everywhere

I actually saw a YouTube video from Jenna Marbles explaining this...

They probably lose them through exersize?
Or they never had big breast in the first place? -
They are muscular. When we work out, the first place we lose fat is in our chest because breasts are, in fact, just lumps of fat that hang off the front of us. If a woman is so athletic, they tend not to have breasts. It's the same reason why athletic men don't have breasts and lazy fat men have man boobs.

Both the weight and the hydrodynamics of breast tissue have a small but important negative effect on performance. Remember that the difference between winning and losing at the Olympics is often measured in milliseconds.

boobs are fat. ultra fit girls don´t have fat. also i´d guess in pretty much every sport, boobs are in the way or slowing you down in some ways so that ones with big boobs won´t ever make it to that level.

Those mugs hurt when you get active, especially without the right support!
I should know..lol, but really I don't exactly know why. -
These women are in incredible shape. The women with huge boobs are usually overweight or at least curvy.
If you look at women who work out constantly and are very active, almost all of them have small boobs. It's a matter of body fat (which Olympic athletes have very little of) as well as muscle tone.
It's hard to have a fit girl WITH big boobs. Very rare. -
It's not like they're going to the Olympics to turn you on.
Not everything is about you. -
Big Tits slow girls down...definitely when streaking..how athletic could you be with 10 pounds of meat hanging on you?
-
they have very little fat. its more muscle. those women are shaped like men and its so unattractive
-
I think it's just because athletic women tend not to have large breasts. And of course, the lower your body fat percentage, typically the smaller the breasts.
-
higher muscle lower body fat percentage and possibly women with smaller breasts gravitate towards sports more than large cute bc breasts are annoying when you're athletic.
