This youtube video of Dutch Ironman triathlete Yvonne van Vlerken taking a very odd shower is billed as a "visibility" test of her, " brandnew shiny-white Skinfit-racesuit for Frankfurter Sparkasse Ironman European Championship."
The word is that the video was taken by her boyfriend/coach who is reportedly behind the camera.
The Youtube posting states:
"Wet-T-shirt-contest for Triathletes! It´s nothing without humour...;-)"
According to Wikipedia:
"On 13 July 2008 Yvonne van Vlerken set a new world record of 8:45:48 for ironman-distance races at the Quelle Challenge Roth, more than five minutes faster than Paula Newby-Fraser's world record time of 8:50:53, which had stood for 14 years. After the race Van Vlerken held the iron-distance record while Newby-Fraser still held the Ironman Record, which was set on the same course in 1994, in Ironman Europe" With almost 50K views of this video, the Wikipedia entry may also have to be amended soon to reflect Yvonne van Vlerken growing fame and new record of having the most viewed triathlete Ironman shower of all time.
