At the Mediterranean Games yesterday right before the start of a 200M finals race, 22 year old Italian swimmer Flavia Zoccari was forced to make an embarrassing withdrawal from the race thanks to her swimsuit. The Jaked brand swimsuit, which features a special back-hinge, has been under controversy recently, first it was banned by the FINA the official swimming body, then, last month it was reinstated.

Jaked, who sponsors the Italian swim team was thus able to resupply the team with their specially designed aerodynamic suits. However, right before her race was about to start, the back hinge on Zoccari's suit broke, leaving her butt exposed to the world. With no time available to change her suit, Zoccari was forced out of the race and reduced to tears.

I don't understand why she wasn't able to race anyways, so her ass is hanging out, like we ALL haven't had to compete in a sporting event where every millisecond counts with at least one of our naughty bits hanging out. Or am I the only one on this one?
