A British bobsleigh slider was exposed to another peril of the sport during a world championship race in St Moritz, Switzerland - when television cameras showed her lycra body suit splitting open to reveal her backside.

As Gillian Cooke bent over her sled at the top of the run in Switzerland, the spandex suit she was wearing tore open to reveal her bottom and a black g-string.

Scottish-born Cooke was preparing for her downhill run with Minichielle when the wardrobe malfunction occurred, although she only became aware of her situation once her slide was completed.

Television channel Eurosport's commentators couldn't let the moment pass without passing comment at Cooke's misfortune: "Gill's going to need a new race suit - looking a bit chilly out there!"

Cooke and Minichielle, both bound for February's Winter Olympics in Vancouver, finished seventh in the race.

The only one's that were really taking the p!ss out of muffin was you and your little group. Every one else was just having a bit of fun. I don't even think muffin realized it as she is not in your league.
