World swimming superpowers the United States and Australia have expressed mutual disappointment at FINA's decision to approve modified versions of swimsuits that were initially rejected for competition.

"We are highly disappointed by the FINA ruling released Monday, but in order to keep USA Swimming's rules in compliance with those of the international governing body, we will immediately adopt the revised list of approved swimsuits," USA Swimming president Jim Wood said Tuesday.

"Moving forward, we encourage FINA to carefully examine this matter in order to ensure the best possible future for our sport."
