____January 21st, 2010

A British bobsleigh rider

has become an accidental

internet hit –

after bursting out of her

skin-tight Lycra suit.

Gillian Cooke’s suit split

just before she jumped into

the bobsleigh with team-mate

Nicola Minichiello during a

world championship event

in Switzerland.

Unfortunately for her,

the embarrassing incident was

caught on camera and quickly

ended up on YouTube where it

has notched up more

than 1.4million hits.

Cooke, 27,

seemed unaware of the

technical malfunction however,

despite the amusement of one

of the officials,

who was filmed laughing

moments after the accident.

Despite the slip up,

Cooke and Minichiello

managed to finish seventh at

the championships which took

place in St Moritz.

The two British women are

due to compete at the Winter

Olympics in Vancouver,

Canada next month and hope to

add to their gold medal from last

year’s World Championships

in Lake Placid.

Cooke is originally from Edinburgh

and is the brakes woman for the

bobsleigh which is driven by

Sheffield-based Minichiello.

No one from Team Minichiello

was available for comment.

Their website made no

mention of the incident.
