An Olympic mystery solved

By Nadine Kam

Ahh, one of the great mysteries of the Olympics has been solved by opening the Yahoo home page this morning.

I guess a lot of people had the same question I had when looking at Kerri Walsh, which is, what is that black stuff she’s wearing on her shoulder? Many thought it was a tattoo, but it was raised and looked velvety to me. Turns out to be medical tape.

A lot of feature stories are born this way, out of those hundreds of trivial things that make you go huh? in the course of a day.

Check out the feature here.

    I wondered the same thing too! But coming from a semi-athletic background I assumed it was that tape stuff they use, but wasn’t positive because I’ve never seen them use super black stuff like that.
