Is it a prerequisite ?

It might be that all the training burns fat, and makes more muscle, breast tissue is mostly fat.

Could be wrong, often am.

No idea but Serena Williams doesn't fit the flat chested profile.

Watching the Olympics ( I try not to but Grampy was watching this afternoon) and can't help but notice the number of female athletes that have no breasts at all.

Now it's not something I do in general ( look at other women's breasts) and I realise these women are athletes but I wondered whether only flat chested women become athletes OR is there something in the training that affects the shape of female athletes.

As a well endowed woman I have always maintained women with significant breasts shouldn't run, it's uncomfortable and in my case I could either end up blacking my eyes or worse knocking out a spectator.smile

So, does anyone know is it science, genetics or something else ?
