The 19-year-old -- who won six gold and two bronze medals at last month's Olympic games in Athens -- set tongues wagging when he competed in Speedos that rode down so low on his hips they made Britney Spears' outfits seem demure by comparison. Which begs the question -- just how do those trunks stay up when he's swimming at mach speed? "They're pretty form-fitting so there's really no fear of them slipping off his body," says Craig Brommers, Speedo's vice president of marketing. "The fabric is a lycra/nylon combo. I wouldn't suggest that the average Joe swimmer wear them that low, because it does take getting used to. But Phelps likes them." Laughing, he adds, "It certainly created a buzz among female spectators." Um, yeah. The teenage girls attending "Disney's Swim With the Stars" tour have been screaming as much for the way Phelps and fellow Olympians Ian Crocker and Lenny Krayzelburg look as for their awesome abilities. The tour makes a stop tonight for two sold-out shows at the John B. Norris Recreation Center in west suburban St. Charles. To read the rest of this story, click here. Return to Disney News. |
