A 17-year-old swimmer is disqualified for revealing too many butts after suffering from a huge wedgie – The Sun

A young TOP swimmer was disqualified – after his swimsuit gave him a huge wedgie and showed him his buttocks.

A referee by the pool ruled that 17-year-old Breckynn Willis was revealing too many of his backs after winning the 100-meter freestyle in a school competition.

Willis was "heartbroken" when she learned of her disqualification as she was coming out of the pool.

Media from Anchorage, Alaska, USA, said the referee said the girl's swimsuit "was so high that I could see the buttocks touching her buttocks."

Some other coaches even said that the teenager intentionally put on her swimsuit to make it more revealing.

The fact that she was told that she was intentionally trying to attract this sexual attention really crushed her.

Swimming coach Lauren Langford said, "We have a term, it's called a suit, and wedgies happen.

"It's uncomfortable. Nobody will walk that way intentionally. "

Officials are now accused of racism and sexism, with Willis being the only Métis girl on the team – and the only swimmer to be disqualified.

Langford said, "All girls wear costumes cut the same way.

"And the only girl who is disqualified is a Métis girl with more rounded and curved features."

School leaders have since confirmed that Willis wore an official approved swimsuit, the same as all his teammates.

She had also worn it in two previous races earlier in the competition and was not sanctioned in any way.

The swimmer also returned to the pool in the same swimsuit after disqualification to swim in a team relay and received no penalty.

Langford said Willis was "heartbroken" after the event on Friday night thinking that people thought she was deliberately riding the sides of her swimsuit.

"The fact that she was told that she was intentionally trying to attract this sexual attention really crushed her," Langford said.

Willis' mother, Meagan Kowatch, told the press in Alaska that the same judge had also criticized her other daughter and Breckynn's younger sister, Dreamer, for also revealing her buttocks in a previous swim .

The disqualification was later overruled by the Alaska School Activities Association, the governing body of sports in Alaska high schools.

The school district, in a written statement, said that the decision to isolate the girl from a uniform violation was "based solely on the way a standard uniform, provided by a school, was managed to marry the shape of his body ".

"We can not tolerate any form of discrimination, and certainly not based on the shape of the body," said the district.
