Female swimmer quits Games due to hi-tech swimsuit bursting open
|
It's a wardrobe malfunction to end them all.
Italian Olympic swimmer Flavia Zoccari was forced to sit out a championship race at the Mediterranean Games yesterday after her swimming costume burst open in a very unfortunate place.
Flavia, 22, was wearing the controversial top-of-the-line Jaked J01 swimsuit when disaster struck at the Games in Pescara, Italy.
She burst into tears as she was forced to stand down from her race.
Jaked boasts that the full-body swimsuit - complete with back zip - is 'more than skin'.
However the aerodynamic costume has been the subject of controversy after it was banned by FINA (the International Swimming Federation) earlier this year because it gave swimmers wearing it an unfair advantage.
Italian swimmer Flavia Zoccari's skinsuit splits open during the Mediterranean Games in Pescara on Jul 1, Italy.
