It's the 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 bathing costume burst open in a very unfortunate place.
Flavia, 22, was wearing the controversial £318 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 hinge - 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.
FINA lifted the ban on the swimsuit a month later, in June of this year, after Jaked, which sponsors the Italian national swim team, protested the ban.
Zoccari - who is nearly six feet tall - later apologised for the embarrassing incident.
I kinda like the "open back" design.

OK! It took me a while to get caught up on your blog...the BBQ donut is HILARIOUS...the Big Sky of Montana property is AMAZING! We have also been talking about buying a condo in Savannah to use for friends and family...that could be your winter training HQ haha...(obviously not for skiing). The open-back swimsuit is something you should market fo sho!
At least she can pull off that look and has cute bunz. Could be so much worse...
very fashion forward :)
or fashion backward, depending on your point of view. Better than some of the crazy designs coming out of Milan I suppose! Poor thing!!!
Love it!
That is too funny! Where do you find these little stories? Oh, by the way, I want a party on the BBQ Donut! That thing is a hoot.
That sucks that they made her stop!
reminds me of the topless suit of the 60s- I guess this is the "bottomless" version!
(say no to crack!) :-0
