00:00Another thing to mention about the Olympics yesterday.
00:10Five skiers were disqualified for their baggy outfits.
00:14What?
00:17Huh?
00:19Get out of here.
00:20Skiers representing Austria, Japan, Norway, and Germany
00:23were deemed to be wearing loose-fitting clothing
00:25that could have given them extra loft
00:29Oh, so were they ski jumpers?
00:30While in the air.
00:32Yes.
00:32Oh, okay.
00:33So they were banned.
00:35Huh.
00:36I've never heard of that.
00:37They're in a wingsuit.
00:39Not wingsuit.
00:40No, I know, but I mean, like, that's a thing, right?
00:43Yeah, the five female ski jumpers were disqualified
00:47because their outfits were considered too baggy,
00:49and that would have given them more airtime, they say.
00:53That's a new one.
00:54Yeah.
00:54Don't think you could change real quick since it's the Olympics.
00:57Yeah, give them an opportunity to just put on different outfits.
00:59Yeah, maybe.
00:59Exactly.
01:00They've always worn...
01:02I just thought, like, you got your uniforms for whatever,
01:05and they were all the same, and they were all from the Olympic Committee.
01:07That's what I would have thought.
01:08Right, well, they had their outfits cleared in earlier jumps,
01:11so their disqualification later in the event was pretty shocking, they say.
01:15And it was the Olympic Committee that disqualified them.
01:20It wasn't like China being like...
01:21Yeah, the International Ski Federation.
01:24They say destroyed everything.
01:26I think they've destroyed women's ski jumping.
01:28I've been checked so many times in 11 years,
01:30the skier said that I have never been disqualified once.
01:33I know my suit was compliant.
01:35160 World Cup starts, five World Championships, three Olympic Games,
01:39and this is the first time ever my heart is broken.
01:41Yeah, it's really sad.
01:43Because, I mean, I guess I assumed they were going to come out there looking like MC Hammer.
01:47And it didn't look like that, you know, Dave.
01:54You bastard.
01:55It didn't.
01:56You need a tissue, Dave?
01:57Yeah.
01:59I think you got some coffee coming out of your nose.
02:01Yeah, sorry.
02:01I think I did a little bit.
02:02Sorry about that.
02:03It's so good.
02:04Mistimed.
02:05Mistimed that one.
02:06It's hot coffee.
02:06Yeah, it's not good.
02:08But, yeah, that's what I thought it was going to be like, and it was not.
02:13It just looked like a normal suit to me, one of their little suits.
02:16It wasn't like MC Hammer.
02:18Well, you know, like when I said baggy, I mean, MC Hammer would have been a killer ski jumper.
02:25He would have looked real cool.
02:26Oh, my God.
02:28He would have flown.
02:30I just said, oh, I'm not sure that's the look that would be approved.
02:35Can you imagine those pants?
02:37Come to ski jumpers.
02:38It's like he's got a parachute.
02:41He's got wings coming out of their asses.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Look at him soar.
02:44He soars, like, right past the whole setup.
02:49Just the whole end.
02:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:50Does anyone see him?
02:51He's over the fence.
02:52Oh, my God.
02:54They're on their way to Japan right now.
03:00Yeah, not what I was expecting.
03:02No.
03:02MC Hammer pants on those skiers.
03:04But, again, another, like, you train for years and years and boom.
03:08That's a really silly reason.
03:10No.
