swimmer's zipper broken?
Jessica Schipper's zipper on her swimsuit busted right before a event. Did anyone happen to see this?

.....With only seconds to go, Trickett was choking back a vomiting attack. Worse, Schipper was panicking and in tears, as she struggled out of her futuristic, fastskin swimsuit - which had suffered what was later described as a "zipper malfunction" - and climb into a replacement. "I was getting into my suit as we were going into marshalling and it wouldn't zip up. I had to do a quick change into another suit. I got it on in the end, but I was probably a little bit stressed out." It was later revealed that Trickett, swim-team officials and representatives of Speedo, makers of the LZR Racer, all helped a tearful Schipper strip and climb into a replacement. The team spokesman, Ian Hanson, confirmed that the suits are so tight that putting them on can take several minutes...... ------------ would have loved to have been a fly on the wall :) Didn't effect them at the end, as they took Gold and Bronze |
