Default Ironman Race

I was watching a live broadcast of the Ironman Triathlon from Hawaii on ABC television a number of years ago. It might have been in the 1980s. Anyway, after the runners complete the swim, they have to quickly change for the bike race portion. There was a screened off area set up for them. For some reason one of the camera crews had so that it could film down into to changing area, which was used by women. I guess that they thought the women would just put on shoes and then ride the bikes in their swimsuits. Some of the women however actually changed from swimsuits to bike shorts. It was at a distance, so you couldn't get a clear view, but you could see flashes of skin. The director quickly switched to another camera, and after a commercial break, the location over the changing area was never used again to my great disappointment.
