My question for the day is:
Where do the female skiers put their boobs when they suit up?

Heard this morning that the UK women are through to the final of the floor sweeping.

I had a female student a few years back who was studying inflatable life jackets and referred to the problem they cause women. The project was about a different aspect of jacket performance and all the experimental subjects were men. Given the hypothesis, including women would have been a confounding factor.

the common life inflatable preserver vest used during the World War II era was known as a “Mae West” Life Preserver

The Price of Freedom:

The Mae West life jacket - OxfordWords blog

. . . A bit of a rule breaker, Mae West brought the shimmy to Broadway and was in constant trouble with the Hollywood censors for her risqué plays and films. But her impact extended beyond the borders of popular entertainment, and she has left a lasting legacy on the English language, appearing in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) in some of the earliest known quotations for a range of terms including ‘make love’ and ‘promo’.

She was as famous for her curves as she was for her raunchy films and plays. In fact, the first quotation for ‘curvaceous’ in the OED is a description of Mae West:
1936 Screen Book Mag. Feb. 61 The curvaceous lady [sc. Mae West] receives from Paramount just as many dollars per week for her scenario work as she receives for her acting.
So legendary, it seems, that they needed a new word to describe them, Mae West’s curves became a part of popular culture, and it’s no surprise that other objects were likened to them. The early life jackets issued during WWII gave the wearer a puffed-up chest and feminine figure, swiftly earning them the moniker ‘Mae West’.

. . .

To celebrate Mae West’s linguistic legacy, here are some of her most famous quotations taken from Oxford Essential Quotations, available on Oxford Reference:

I always say, keep a diary and some day it’ll keep you.
Every Day’s a Holiday (1937 film)

It’s not the men in my life that counts—it’s the life in my men.
I’m No Angel (1933 film)

‘Goodness, what beautiful diamonds!’
‘Goodness had nothing to do with it.’
Night After Night (1932 film)

Why don’t you come up sometime, and see me?
She Done Him Wrong (1933 film);

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
Joseph Weintraub Peel Me a Grape (1975)

I used to be Snow White…but I drifted.
Joseph Weintraub Peel Me a Grape (1975)

Sports bra.

Works kinda like a large ace bandage, only it is one piece. Just an elastic band that holds them close and secure. For the women with large breasts it keeps them from getting beat up by the things.

Sort of like an athletic supporter that male athletes wear.
