PARIS — U.S. track and field athletes have around four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. But the one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who argue they don't need the internet to make sure they have good uniforms. USA Track and Field said uniform maker Nike consulted with several athletes while designing the uniforms, which were unveiled in Paris earlier this week. Among those taking part in the rollout were world-champion sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson and Olympic gold medalist Athing Mu.
