Olympic swimmer's wardrobe malfunction

Awesome. I mean, too bad about her being disqualified and all, but still... awesome.

Thanks

Wow...that is really weird. Luckily for her, it wasn't in the front.

another example of the agony of defeat
 

ranks right up there with Tonya Harding's ice skating misfortunes 15 years ago..:D

this is awesome stuff. i hope there's more of it, video, everything. it doesn't get much better than this.

awesome
 

really hoping for a vid on this but thanks for the pics

I'd be interested in a more detailed story as to exactly what went on. A vid would help, but so would an article or something. Great post, and it sure looks like it was a very public moment. I feel for the girl, as it almost appeared that her incident was met with scorn rather than understanding and patience.

Olympic swimmers should do it in the buff anyway! :p Great post!

there's really not much more 'detailed story' to tell.
The back hinge broke just before the race was to begin, and she didn't have time to change into another.
She would have known that rules are rules, and she definitely would have been more horrified at missing the race then having her rear exposed. (If you believe media reports, some European female swimmers couldn't care less who sees them naked, as some after a race change out of their suits before they reach the change rooms)

Which reminds me of another story. At last years Olympics, one of the Aussie female's suit tore minutes before they were about to walk out to the pool. Now you have to remember all these girls would be as nervous as hell in the lead up to a gold medal race.
When she noticed, she started balling her eyes out and was a complete wreck as two or three others(including a guy..may have been her coach or an Aus official) quickly began ripping the torn suit off and squeezing her into another.
Apparently it takes forever to properly fit into these latest suits..anyway she got suited up in time and must have composed herself when she reached the starting blocks, cause she ended up winning the gold

i agree
then i would watch

yes, those techno suits are just getting ridiculous.. have them swim naked, and let's see which one is the real best swimmer (and watch the TV ratings for the Olympics go off the chart!)

And there are no pictures of this WHY?!?!? :D

Fango

was she naked in front of every one? I never heard this story -what was her name?

Not so sure it was the Olympics as I thought it was wolrd championships and if memory serves me correct it was Petria Thomas (butterfly)



Gaz

no it was the China Olympics,..Petria's may well have been another incident

Jessicah Schipper
It happened in the vicinity of the marshaling area, so it would have been out of the spectators view.
Schipper actually came 3rd, i got confused with Libby Lenton who was having her own pre-nerve issues holding back a vomiting attack...she went on to take gold

What happened?

Google Gillooly. (I always wanted to say that)

The first hit will tell you all you want to know. You must be a kid? That incident was world news when it happened. Almost as important and big as Jacko.

Thank God there are no pics of her ...she would have to be one of the ugliest swimmers ever....:D

Was Tonya Harding in playboy? Here are some vidcaps from a video her hubby made.


The entire video is available right here on OCC:
