Texas swimmer 'puts on a pretty good show' at World Championships - Jul 30, 2009 | 11:03:53

Seconds before jumping into the pool at the World Championships in Rome, Texas senior Ricky Berens did an impromptu test on the role the super-suits play in drag. While stretching, Berns' suit split all the way up the back. Without the time to make a repair before the heat began Berns dived into the pool with his backside exposed to every photographer in the free world. "I kind of freaked out for just a second," he told reporters. "I felt like (the hole) was almost down to my knees. I felt like I was putting on a pretty good show." Despite the unlucky circumstances, Berns managed to help his team qualify for the 4-by-100 relay and they eventually won the gold in the finals. A pretty good show indeed.

Experience in multiple sports is great for a developing youth. However, success breeds confidence. Bottom line should be life lessons learned.
