Why did Chinese swimmers put duct tape on the speedo logo?

Answer 1

Those tape are called Kynesio Tape or KT. Please read this from the Daily Mail :

"German beach volleyball player Ilka Semmler wears it on her buttocks - in pink.

Swedish handball player Johanna Wiberg prefers it in blue from her knee to her groin. British sprinter Dwain Chambers has even worn it with a Union Jack design.

Athletic tape made in every colour under the sun seems to be the latest must-have sports injury treatment at London 2012.

Called Kinesio tape and developed by a Japanese doctor more than 30 years ago, the adhesive strapping is designed to provide muscle and joint support without restricting movement.

According to Kinesio's product website, it is also designed to be used with a particular taping technique - a skill practitioners need to learn on a special training course."
