    Oh man I miss Jenna Marbles. I haven’t watched her in a decade easy.

    In any case, she is mostly wrong here. Breast size is dependent on a lot of factors, and for those at the Olympics their breasts are much more likely to be much smaller than average. This is a result of training, high testosterone, and genetic body type. Yes bras do affect things, but the top athletes are just more likely to have smaller breasts because that’s how science works. That doesn’t mean that top athletes can’t have larger breasts, it just means it’s less likely.
