US Olympic swimmer Ricky Berens unveiled his new dashing new swimsuit during the 4×100m relays at the World Swimming Championships in Rome last weekend. ‘The Bruno’ caused something of a splash – and the US team, no doubt encouraged by the stirring vision before them – both of them – successfully qualified for the Finals.
Let’s hope other swimsuit designers adopt the asstounding aquadynamics of Mr Berens’ blond butt cheeks.

Postscript:
I’m very grateful to Mark W for reminding me of this highly apposite literary quotation ‘regarding’ the male derriere:
“The veneration I feel for that part of the body and the great tenderness that I have bestowed on the [boys who have allowed me to enter it, the grace and sweetness of their gift, oblige me to to speak of all this with respect”
Genet- “Funeral Rites”
I was intrigued to see he has blond buttocks, given he looks quite swarthy: http://blog.gettyimages.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/ricky-berens-small-2.jpg
I would never have noticed that! When poking the fireplace, you don’t look at the mantle!
Berens said that he barely noticed! I’ll bet–looks like he’s hurrying off to a date on the pool’s far end. In any case that’s a sterling case of predate enthusiasm, getting in the way of work!
I’d definitely give him a prize. To say the least he qualified and a little more.
Some might accuse him of showboating, but I think he was right on the mark!
That is FANTASTIC.

What’s the ‘aerodynamic’ angle on this?
I remember when cyclists started wearing those ‘hats’ that when into a weird taper at the back, like they were in a PSB’s video or something.
But this has to be justified by physics, surely? Like Viagra, it must at least enable, if not enhance, performance.
I’m baffled as it looks like the water would just seep into that gap above his arse cheeks and turn him into some slow-moving buoyancy aid.
Isn’t the whole idea to have a seamless second skin? Obviously synthetic clothing technology has moved.
Hi Andrew – If you click on the source link you’ll see that ‘The Bruno’ wasn’t entirely designed, or planned….
Can it be said of a butt that it has gravitas? The term “perky” has less esteem attached to it.
Grabitass.
Ricky Berens tore the back of his swimsuit in a qualifying heat of the 4×100m relay freestyle, but still
He could have been dogpaddleing and still won hands down in my book even before he got to the other side; but you’re right it was definitely free-style. He redefined the free-style concept for good! Maybe more athletes will have the courage now to innovate like that!
