As the Beijing Olympics approach, the world's swimming industry continues to experience record breaking frenzies. In the Australian Swimming Olympics trials in March, athletes such as Sullivan broke the world record seven times within seven days. In the previous European Swimming Championships, athletes from France, the Netherlands, and Italy broke world records six times. According to information provided by the International Swimming Federation, within six weeks after mid February, 16 new world records were set in the clear water pool, of which 15 were set by athletes wearing LZR Racers, the fourth generation "shark skin".

At the US Swimming Olympics trials at the end of June, American "Flying Fish" Phelps broke the world record for men's 400m medley with this "magical swimsuit". Next, it was the famous athlete Hoff who set the record for women's 400m medley.

After breaking the record, Phelps excitedly stated that his new swimsuit made him even more powerful: "Put on it and jump into the pool, like a scorching blade cutting through delicate butter. I really have never worn such a good swimsuit before, and it will definitely help me break more records

Phelps' praise prompted people to take Speedo's new swimsuit seriously again. It has been proven that this swimsuit has been accompanied by a revolution in the swimming industry since its launch: out of the 44 world records that have been lost, 40 are actually related to it. For a moment, the new swimsuit became the "idol" that various delegations competing for the Beijing Olympics admired. It is understood that more than 50 national athletes will wear LZR to participate in the Beijing Olympics. Shark skin became the swimsuit champion of the Beijing Olympics.
