Swimmer's Sexy Buns Exposed During Race

His flash is making a splash!

Ricky Berens, an American swimmer who collected gold in relays during the Olympics last year, had an embarrassing moment during a qualifying race in World Swimming Championships in Rome Sunday.

While stretching for the race, the back on Berens' swimsuit tore, exposing his toned rear end.

"I kind of freaked out for just a second," Berens said of the embarrassing incident. "I felt like the hole was almost down to my knees. I felt like I was putting on a pretty good show."

We give him a 10 -- and it has nothing to do with his breaststrokes!
