Olympic level clothes are engineered for improved performance, not prostitution. Usually it is the coach who picks the uniform, not the athlete. Teams are usually sponsored and are loyal to their sponsors (Nike for instance). Unfortunately, less is more in that context - less friction = more speed/less clothing, less friction = more speed/tight clothing, less friction = more speed. And for that purpose alone, it makes little sense for practicing Muslims to compete in Olympics. However, that said, it is not fair for us to judge the intent of athletes here by comparing them to prostitutes. Why aren't we holding our tongues?

Also, this isn't just applicable to women... men don't cover their awrah properly in olympics either. But that is besides the point - I highly doubt any of the athletes are thinking about flaunting their beauty - and if that is how any of us end up reading their actions, then it is probably best for them not to watch the athletes in the first place.
