criss-cross straps
For sports bras. Seems that it more comfortable and avoids the shoulder band to slipp away :
någon av modellerna som har brottarrygg eftersom man undviker att axelbanden glider ned. Man kan också titta efter en behå med dubbeltyg som ger ett ytterligare stöd.

wrestler's back
Wild guess. I've had very little contact with bras, so I'm completely in the dark.

: I dont see the connection between a wrestler and a bra :/ I have noticed from watching WWE wrestling that they do have a cross over in the back. That is a bit twisty I give you that but I dont have better
