Flavia Zoccari is one of Italy's top female swimmers, and had made it to the championship race at the Mediterranean Games yesterday, when disaster struck. Her ultra-formfitting swimsuit, known as the Jaked J01 busted open at the seams, exposing her posterior to the public. Oops.
The ridiculously hi-tech suit costs £318, which is approximately $523.53. Is it just me, or is that a bit much for a swimsuit? Well... yes, it absolutely is. But this is a lot like those LZA Racers that got everyone's panties in a bunch at the Olympics. Supposedly, these things are better than skin.
For Zoccari, however, it was most definitely NOT better. In fact, she was extremely upset about it, as you can see by her obvious embarrassment and tears.
Zoccari, 22, was obviously forced to withdraw from the race. The Jaked has been banned from some competitions, based on claims that it gave swimmers an unfair advantage. Well... not this time.
