.....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.

The team spokesman, Ian Hanson, confirmed that the suits are so tight that putting them on can take several minutes......
