Obviously tracksuits currently do not have that capability, but is it possible to invent clothing-wear to do such a thing?

I do not know what the effective frontal area of a penis is and what effect it would have on ones running speed but I would not be too worried about mine at the moment.

Isn't that the function of a jock strap? If you are wearing a full track suit, you have far more significant drag contributions from the rest of the kit. High-cut Speedos should minimise flutter compared with a jock and shorts.
Given that Usain Bolt's current record over 100m is 10% faster than Florence Joyner's, it would seem that what the military call "external stores" is not a limiting factor below the waist.

This has got to be one of the most bizarre questions ever asked on this forum!

Pseudo: Do not cut off your nose to spite your face just yet. The International Olympic Committee and the International Athletics Federation are debating transgender competition and trans record definitions.
Frankly, if you can't already maintain 10m/s with whatever standard equipment you were issued, the question is probably academic.

∏The wind blowing on the penis is obviously a consideration in cycling, as many cyclists shave their leg hair to stop the resistance. They have extremley tight fitting clothing, aero dynamic shaping of there bicycles, there helmets are elongated to give a nice smooth flow for the air. I should think some large prosthetic you could strap on to the area to smooth the airflow over the region would work best. I believe aerodynamics where limited in cycling because it got very silly.
Just shows all those nooks a crannys have an effect.

With the downhill video, I want to see the subsequent video where he ran the same course in the opposite direction, so they can average the two speeds....
With the cyclist slipstreaming behind a truck, wind resistance of the cyclist doesn't matter, because you are sitting in a pocket of fairly still air which is travelling at the same speed as the truck.

Thats the aeronaut coming through in you evan, airspeed versus ground speed, proves though that a great proportion of resistance is produced from air !
And yes i dont think the uphill version would be all that quick.
I think the real question is when is penis wind resistance an issue. As you can see from the following video, skiing in this case, each posture requires different smoothing

For time trials, professional cyclists are very careful about aligning their bits to minimise resistance, and the part in question can be turned into an advantage rather than a disadvantage in that regard. For this reason, I would expect operations to enlarge it to be breaches of racing rules, while other methods of enlargement could come under doping violations.

That may be a reference to Obree's Superman position, and his previous "trussed-turkey position", both of which virtually eliminated the air resistance of the arms at the expense of stability. Triathlon bars too are dangerous, but they still allow them for some strange reason. They now have restrictions on sock length because patterns of roughness on them can act like the pits on golf balls and reduce drag, but I don't think they've banned altering your skin yet to reproduce the same effect (which could be done by cutting it in the same way one of those modern explorers [I forget which] had done to him by a remote tribe who felt a strong bond with crocodiles). I don't think the rules are silly, but it was ridiculous when Obree was targeted by ill-formed rules to do with his position on the bike rather than the geometrical arrangement of the bike itself - they were trying to measure some gap between part of him (shoulders perhaps) and part of something else while he was racing, and it was all done by guesswork with ample room for bias.
The bike frame itself has been pushed back towards a "diamond" shape", but oval tubes are still allowed as they've been around for a long time: Merckx used them for his hour record. I doubt the new British track bikes for the Olympics will be legal for long: they have the fork blades about a foot apart to remove the constriction between them and the wheel for better air flow, and the same separation at the back for the seat stays (the parts of the frame going down to the back wheel. A lot of the rules are arbitrary, but they can't lock it down to the standards of the past without conflicting with innovations which lead to better bikes for the public to use, and absolute compatibility of records with past performances isn't crucial anyway as the science that goes into training and nutrition is so much better than it used to be, so it's already hard to compare the best cyclists of different eras.
