An article distributed by the Associated Press on making Olympic skiers more aerodynamic reports that those efforts include wind tunnel testing by Michael Holden, head of the Calspan-UB Research Center. He says, "Suits have an effect, I think, mentally if not anything else. Equipment matters, but fortunately it's got to the point now that that sort of this is less important than the skiers themselves." The article appeared in about 25 outlets, including the Chicago Tribune.
