Italian Olympic swimmer Flavia Zoccari was unable to compete in a championship race at the Mediterranean Games when her Jaked J01 swimsuit ripped right up her backside! Read more about it below, see the unfortunate photos and a video.
Italian Flavia Zoccari is a top olympic swimmer who was competing in a championship race yesterday at the Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy. Sadly, she was forced to sit out the race when her swimsuit, the “Jaked J01″ ripped out in the back. Needless to say, she was embarrassed and very upset.
The Jaked J01 swimsuit is a bit controversial. It was banned by FINA (the International Swimming Federation) earlier this year because supposedly it gave swimmers who wore it an unfair advantage. However, FINA lifted the ban on the swimsuit a month later after Jaked, which sponsors the Italian national swim team, protested the ban.
As you can see from the photos of Flavia Zoccari’s ripped swimsuit, it is a full-body swimsuit with back hinge. Some call it aerodynamic and “more then skin.” I just feel bad she wasn’t able to compete!
