BBC commentator and former national team skier told of the absurd story of the crisis of ban due to 'chest size' during the Olympics in the past.

The Sun reported on the 16th (local time) that "the BBC commentator revealed that he was almost banned from participating in the Winter Olympics because of his bra size."

Alcott is a British ski star who competed in four consecutive Olympics from the 2002 Salt Lake City Games to the 2014 Sochi Games. Retired, he is a BBC commentator.

According to the media, Kemi Alcott, a commentator on the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, recently appeared on the podcast "The Sports Agent" and confessed the so-called "chest gate" incident that he experienced during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Alcott participated in the Olympics with a broken rib at the time. He explained, "The British national team medical staff created a specially designed artificial chest protector for fear of injury."

The problem occurred the day the guard was built. Alcott said, "I was wearing a 'Wonderbra (volume-up bra)' the day I took my measurements. For this reason, the protector is much larger and voluminous than my original body size," he said.

The convention organizing committee took issue with the guard. This was because Alcott's chest protector was too large to interfere with air flow or aerodynamically give the player an unfair advantage.

Alcott recalled the embarrassing situation at the time, saying, "I just don't want to get hurt again because I broke my ribs," but I was like Lady Gaga at a masquerade party at the time.

In the end, Alcott had to play barefoot without wearing a protective belt that was found to be in violation of the rules. Injured, he completed all five alpine skiing events at the Vancouver Games and ranked 11th in the super complex.

Alcott's confession is drawing attention again in conjunction with the recent "controversy over equipment manipulation" at the Milan competition. Recently, allegations have been raised that some ski jumpers try to wear loose suits that are more resistant to air by temporarily increasing body volume using hyaluronic acid when measuring suits.

An official from the International Ski Federation (FIS) stressed the importance of equipment regulations, saying, "Even if the suit's surface area increases by 5%, the flight distance increases."
