Ricky Berens Splits His Suit - UPDATED

From the Huffington Post:

US Swimmer and Beijing relay gold medalist Ricky Berens tore the back of his swimsuit in a qualifying heat of the 4x100m relay freestyle on Sunday during the World Swimming Championships in Rome. Shortly before stepping up to the starting block, the University of Texas senior leaned down to stretch and his suit tore.

"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."

He did. And the US qualified for finals and won.

Photos from the HuffPost story follow.



















New photos of Ricky Berens, the top one from OhLaLa Magazine.

A Bit More Matthew

I know, I know. You'd think I had a little bit of a crush now, wouldn't you?

From Stunning Sexy Guys. Matthew in Rome recently, and Matthew at play with his image, I'd guess. Hmmmm.

Ryan Lochte Un-Coverage

Just Beautiful Men has posted a nice homage to US Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, who just earned the men's high-point award for his overall performance at the Santa Clara Grand Prix swim meet this past month.

Just Beautiful Men has posted previous coverage with great photos of Lochte before here.

Now How Did I Miss These?

Hot Aussie Famous Males did several spreads back in March on hot Aussie famous swimmers. I don't know how I missed these, but then again, I have been pretty busy.

Here are a few samples of each. Too many great photos to repost here. Go explore on your own!

More Swimmers from Adam

Here's a couple more that Adam just posted. I can't keep up...

Another Lochte Post Elsewhere

Just Beautiful Men recently posted a wonderful gallery of Ryan Lochte pix. Here are a few.

Speaking of Adam...

Mr. Candids has also recently posted three of the hottest swimming posts I've seen in a long time. The most recent features our own USA Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte.





The next post I love features that cute Team USA waterpolo player who's eternally being chased by his teammates around the pool deck. Believe I've posted a set or two of him before. I'll check that out when I get home. Here are Adam's typically huge and beautiful photos.





The last post gets its own post next.

Long & Lean

Legging Line-Ups

A couple of other swimming blogs have posted photos of award ceremonies and starts featuring Andy Grant and other top swimmers recently. These images reminded me why I'm attracted to the look of leggings on lean, athletic swimmers.

I've made some wallpapers for my own desktop from these photos, and I wanted to share them with you.

For those of you who prefer more conventional speedo styles, I'll get back to those tomorrow.
