It have a few design flaw 'We’re all having problems. We want to get it as tight as possible as sprinters.'” comment from one of the other swimmer.
"I kind of freaked out for just a second," Berens said. "I felt like [the hole] was almost down to my knees. I felt like I was putting on a pretty good show."
the split did not slow Ricky down, he managed to win the gold medal in Rome.
