With the international governing body of swimming banning Polyurethane suits, it was nice that we had chance to see the true beauty of these suits. They all should have been worn the way Ricky Berens wore his while competing in the 400-meter freestyle relay preliminaries. I am sure this was embarrassing for Ricky. Urged on by relay teammate Cullen Jones, Berens competed anyway, helping the U.S. team qualify for Sunday's final.
"I kind of freaked out for just a second," Berens said. "I felt like [the tear] was almost down to my knees. I felt like I was putting on a pretty good show."
