Table Tennis-Women urged to wear shirts with "curves"
 
By Simon Rabinovitch
BEIJING, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Table tennis is desperate to attract more viewers and some in the sport believe a simple enough solution exists: get the women to wear skirts and shirts with "curves".
Half-empty stands for women's games at the Olympics in China, the country most obsessed with table tennis, reinforce concerns that the sport needs a make-over to shed its fusty image.
Women players mostly wear baggy shorts and shirts unlike their tennis counterparts who dress for comfort as well as style.
 
"We are trying to push the players to use skirts and also nicer shirts, not the shirts that are made for men, but ones with more curves," International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) vice president Claude Bergeret said.
One player, Japan's Naomi Yotsumoto, has taken matters into her own hands. At the Japanese national championships last year, she played in a daring ensemble of her own design: knee socks, a pleated mini-skirt and a shirt that left one shoulder bare.
----------------------------

I suggest that table tennis try a flirty French Maid outfit.  During breaks in the action the competitor can slip the paddle into the convenient garter belt for safe keeping.  A change in the name of the women's game would be good too.  Something like Naughty Girl Paddle Ball test well in focus groups.
