Long Hair at the Olympics
Aug 22^nd, 2004 at 11:57pm

Being a former competitive swimmer, I LOVE watching the Olympics. I am amazed at how many swimmers and divers have longer hair. Even the volleyball (beach and indoor) players have long braids.

Just goes to show ya - you CAN have long hair and be active in sports.

I think the longest hair I have seen is Inge De Bruijn's (Netherlands) waist length blonde hair.

My hair hates chlorine, and would split up in an instant if I had to do competitive swimming. I'm not an athlete anyway, but I suppose I would have to find a way to deal with my hair if I was . I've always wanted to shave my head; maybe I would try it if I was an athlete?

Unfortunately I missed all the women's water events, which are my favourite to watch. Sad

But I did notice many of the women on the US softball team seemed to have longer hair.

I can't imagine being a swimmer and having to care for long hair at the same time, especially when you're in the water and training hard practically every day. That'd probably be the one condition under which I'd ever cut my hair short. Luckily for my hair, I hate to swim.
