Adam Peaty, the legendary Olympian, experienced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during what he described as the "biggest race of his life." The 29 year old swimmer, who has won three gold and three silver medals across three Olympic Games, shared the cringe-worthy moment from the start of his career while on the Sporting Misadventures podcast with Sir Chris Hoy.

He said: "I've had a lot of things happen to me but one of the worst was at European juniors. For context, that was the biggest race of my life so I'd prepared all season for this and I was like 17, I think I was at this point.

I get onto the blocks and I'm like okay, my 50m went horrendous, my 200m went horrendous, I've got win this race because there's two Brits who have qualified ahead of me." Adam then revealed the unfortunate incident: "And I'd stretched a little bit too far on the block, and bearing in mind the crowd were behind me, my trunks ripped right down the a***, like literally split right down the middle.

My team manager comes down with this tiny pair of Speedos that aren't even mine, like a training trunk, a G-string and throws them and says 'put these on and you've got to race,'" reports the Mirror.
