"Guo Jingjing has many demands. She hopes that the competition suit is fashionable and not too boring.

Wu Minxia didn't ask for much. She respected Guo Jingjing's opinion.

In gymnastics, Li Xiaopeng likes smart a bit, not too long nor too wide. "

"Sportsmen's self-confidence sometimes comes from the competition suit. A little change may make them feel unaccustomed."

Wu Baolian, the designer of Hongkong who had never thought that he would be associated with the Olympic Games, is now thinking about the demands of China's top Olympic stars on the "Robe".

Wu Baolian is now working in Li Ning Co.

China's diving, gymnastics, shooting, table tennis and other 4 gold medal dream teams to participate in the Olympic Games are served by the Li Ning Co.

Before joining the Li Ning Co, Wu Baolian's design career became indissoluble with the movement: in 2001, she became a designer of a sports brand clothing and accessories product in Hongkong, and designed for a professional outdoor and tourism clothing brand in 2002.

Wu Baolian is also a sports enthusiast. He likes many sports: badminton, swimming, diving and basketball.

The interest in sports has brought Wu Baolian design inspiration. "When I go to play and swim, I can personally feel what kind of design can make athletes more convenient to exercise.

And diving can make me feel something I can't see or expect on the ground.

Some sudden feelings can especially enlighten my mind.

Sports clothing is different from general clothing. It emphasizes the combination of fashion and functionality.

Professional competition suits have higher functional requirements than general sports clothes.

Wu Baolian and the company's "Ergonomics center" department to cooperate with the Department, the department specifically for athletes' stature and the characteristics of the movement, summarizes the clothing design must pay attention to.

The design department should take these precautions into consideration and design a scientific and comfortable match suit.

After receiving the task, Wu Baolian spent much time in the training hall to listen to the feeling and opinions of the athletes in the match suit.

"People usually think that divers prefer light colors such as sky blue or white.

But in fact, they prefer dark blue and black.

This is determined by the nature of diving. When the light colored race suits enter the water, it will show the body inside the clothes.

Female players have higher requirements on this aspect, while men's demands for functional aspects are higher than those of colors.

This sounds very easy. It's not easy for Wu Baolian. Even if it's fashionable to overdo the old fashioned version and to make the back bandage of the original dress thicker or thinner, Wu Baolian has to deal with it carefully.

As far as diving suits are concerned, they should not be too thick or too thin. If they are too thin, they will easily get out of the water. Too thick will affect the stretching of the movements.

When Wu Baolian asked Guo Jingjing for advice, Guo Jingjing told her that she felt the fabric was too thick and had a slight effect on her performance.

So Wu Baolian and his colleagues looked around and finally found a fabric that was neither thin nor elastic.

This fabric can be highly protected from laxity and blistering.

Diving suit is a combination of high-tech sports clothing, in addition to the above mentioned high elastic fabrics, men and women diving suit at the back of a unique design of the drainage tank.

The so-called drainage trough is a vertical gap, and the lines between the gaps connect the cloth on both sides.

"When athletes jump into the water, the water will come into the clothes suddenly because of great pressure. If they can not be discharged in time, they will produce great splashes and affect the movement effect."

Wu Baolian said, "the draining tank can quickly drain the swimsuit and the water between the body and reduce the resistance so as to reduce the effect of water spray.

In fact, drains have long been used in men's diving suits, but female players have never been able to accept such a gap that may be "visible" behind the buttocks.

So, Wu Baolian found a more solid line, even if it was put on the body, it will not stretch out the obvious shape, but it can drain well.

For shooting and table tennis players, the most important thing is the sweat absorption of fabrics.

The fabrics selected by Wu Baolian are more durable and more durable than other common fabrics.

"For table tennis players, this cloth is not only convenient for the athletes to swing the ball, but also ensures the relative balance and comfort of the underarm parts."

Wu Baolian's favorite Olympic match suit is a suit made by the Russian National synchronized swimming team. "They perform synchronized swimming with Japanese judo, so the designer deliberately designs the pattern of the competition suit as a judo costume. From a distance, athletes seem to be wearing a judo suit when they perform."

However, Wu Baolian didn't have much room to play in designing the match suit for diving team and gymnastics team.

Women's diving and competition clothing should be based on dark colors. How to make articles on relatively dull colors?

Wu Baolian and her design team put forward the concept of "future sense and light source" for these 4 dream teams, namely, in the printing process, the principle of color optics is applied to achieve a strong sense of vision, such as color gradation and metallic texture.

"Take diving as an example, when athletes dive in the beautiful rotation posture in just a few seconds, but the instantaneous change of metal color can be? Script src=>
