Why do some elite runners shave thier legs?

Is it comfort? fashion? Does it make them faster?

I just can see the benefits!

Maybe they don't have hair on their legs. Have you seen them shaving?

I read an interview with Lance Armstrong once, he said the real reason cyclists shave isn't so much the arerodynamics, but when you get a massage every day it's easier with bare legs. So probably the same thing for those runners lucky enough to get massages that often.

Because it looks cool, and who doesnt like having smooth legs.
