The Speedo LZR RACER swimsuit also played a part in making history at the Olympics. American swimming sensation Phelps won a total of eight gold medals competing in the Speedo LZR RACER suit, helping him to overtake Mark Spitz’s 36-year old record for the number of gold medals won by an athlete in the games, which makes him the greatest Olympian of all time.
About Speedo

In 2008 Speedo redefines swimwear again with the LZR RACER® — the fastest and most technologically advanced swimsuit ever created; meanwhile designer collaborations with Comme des Garçons put Speedo at the cutting edge of fashion design. As the world’s leading swimwear brand, Speedo is passionate about life in and around the water, supporting swimming from beginners through to elite level, including the phenomenal Michael Phelps.
