French Gymnast Springs a Leak!

Olympic Star has Tiddly problem mid routine

This is French international gymnast Emilie Le Pennec, doing what international gymnasts do best -- flinging herself about on a mat in major competition. And to be fair, Emilie's pretty good at gymnastics competitions.

In 2004 the 18 year old was the Olymic individual champion on the bars and, while we know about as much about gymnastics as we do about foot surgery, we do know that you don't get any better than Olympic champion.

Unfortunately Emilie will forever be remembered not as a giant in her chosen sport, but as "that French gymnast who sprung a leak in the middle of her routine".

As you can see Emilie really gave everything during her routine at the World Gymnastics Championships in Melbourne. And after all that effort you might expect that she might have ended up seeing gold again, but sadly she could only trickle into fifth place overall.

Even so, not bad for that French gymnast who sprung a leak in the middle of her routine, is it?
