Ricky Berens' Bum

When Ricky Berens was about to jump in the water and swim for a place in the final in the men's relay in the world championship in Rome, his suit burst from the middle of his back to way down his butt.


Although the guy himself says he "kind of freaked out for a second", the broken suit didn't seem to do too much harm. The team qualified for the final where they, without Berens this time, won the gold medal.


Now.. I have two comments.

1. Does anyone have a better angle? Any photographers standing on the other side? Anyone?


2. Maybe suits should be made like this. I'm sure it would generate a bit more interest among female viewers and increase ratings just a little bit. Just a thought...
