old turns?
But the suits made the difference that time. Having my body lying high in the water was my biggest advantage over the others, but the suits lifted those who were stronger, who had bigger muscles. Just think of Krisztina Egerszegi! She clocked 2:06 over the 200m back in 1991 with the old turns! That was real swimming, a performance of a perfect body with perfect technique. Her time was bettered only in the new suits, almost two decades later. So after Beijing l didn't find any reason to continue.

It refers to the way swimmers turn when they reach one end of the pool. A new technique for backstroke swimmers came into use in the 1990s that is faster than the old method.

A new type of swimsuit was introduced at one point that provided extra buoyancy. This caused the swimmers to float higher in the water, reducing drag and enabling them to swim faster. The suits were later banned as it was felt that they gave an unfair advantage to some swimmers.
