And a bad pole vaulter.
But it wouldn’t help you ski jumping unless you are counting on a lot of… uh… shrinkage. As I understand the scandal, it’s not the size of the member that gives an advantage, but rather that if it is made larger when the suit is measured, then when it reverts to its original size during a jump there’s extra material, which acts to keep the jumper aloft longer.
