Michael Phelps wardrobe malfunction? Ummm...:-) The undeniable greatest swimmer in the history Michael Phelps spilled beans on his wardrobe malfunction suffered during the Beijing Olympics. You guys, don't take it for granted! Michael Phelps's wardrobe malfunction did not mean he slipped his Speedo swimsuit and exposed the private parts but the eight gold medalist at one Olympics suffered goggles malfunction during the men's individual 200M Butterfly event in the Games.
"In the 200 m butterfly, water flooded into Michael Phelps’ goggles. Phelps referred to this as a “wardrobe malfunction”. Phelps said that he just did not strap us goggles on properly. Phelps was grateful for the 2sec comfort zone he had on the world going into the race, to make up for this mistake. Phelps swam the last two laps of the 200 butterfly blind because his goggles had filled with water." Stupiedcelebrities.net described.
Anyway, the "wardrobe malfunction" Michael Phelps himself referred to as did not block his trophies in Beijing. For those searching Michael Phelps wardrobe malfunction pictures, the image (via sohu) above showing Michael Phelps put the swimsuit extreme low to a point where his two tatoos (Olympics rings and a capital M [for Michigan]) on lower abs were exposed may entertain you more or less.
In the swimming pool of Water Cube in Beijing, an invincible Michael Phelps wearing Speedo's "shark skin" swimsuit won the unprecedented eight gold medals in a single Olympics, the record which possibly will not be broken for the decades. But sure, in such a mermaid costume shown in the above picture, it was sensed Michael Phelps could not compete in any swimming event. Nevertheless, it is not a very bad idea for a commercial.

Swimming great Michael Phelps
makes a history in the 29th Beijing Summer Olympic Games on August 17, 2008. Phelps, under the collaboration of teammates Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen and Jason Lezak, won his final and also 8th gold medal at the men's 4 x100m medley relay final at this Olympics, becoming the world's only athlete who can win eight gold medals at a single Olympics. The Americans won in a world-record of 3:29.34 minutes, rewriting the old score of 3:30.68 set four years ago in Athens. For Michael Phelps, he also broke Mark Spitz's 36-year-old record of 7 gold medals in one Olympics.

Michael Phelps has bagged his 7th gold medal at the Beijing Games August 16, 2008, equaling Mark Spitz's [wiki] record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics set in Germany's Munich 1972. Phelps' men's 100m butterfly result is 50.58 seconds. Milorad Cavic of Serbia took the silver with a time of 50.59. Though this time Michael Phelps did not break the world record, still he created a new Olympic record in the National Aquatics Center in Beijing. Fabulous! Phelps now is only one gold medal away from his dream to win eight in a single Olympics.
