When NBC televised the now infamous nip-slip moment, I wasn't really surprised. First of all, it's live television, and second of all, we're watching women tread water, score goals, and fight off their opponents as they go for the gold -- that's no easy feat. When you are working that hard, wardrobe malfunctions are bound to happen. I repeat: wardrobe malfunctions happen. All. The. Time. To everyone. And it's not just happening in London for the 2012 Summer Games. It's happened at Winter Games, past Summer Games, and to us common folk. Granted, you and I aren't walking around with 6.2 million peeps tuning in to see our every move, but still, they happen. As cringe-worthy as they can be, it's a reminder that even our favorite elite athletes are just like us. Basically, Olympians are not exempt from a few embarrassing moments. And it just makes us love y'all a helluva lot more. Let's take a look at six of the biggest wardrobe malfunctions of the Games past and present, shall we?![]()
