Whenever I think of Great Britain, I think of class. Then I think about how they once conquered half the world, and I find myself wondering how a country that small could have been so powerful. I figured it out. It’s simple really. It’s because they don’t let a little cheek interfere with their drive.

Apparently that still holds true to this day, as you can gather from Olympic bobsledder, Gillian Cooke. While competing at a world championship race in Switzerland with her partner, Nicola Miniciello, Cooke split the back of her suit. The ladies were pushing their bobsled onto the track when the blow-out occured,revealing both her black g-string panties and some serious skin.

Sources say she didn’t even notice until they finished the race, but come on. They were in Switzerland bobsledding. You can’t tell me she didn’t feel the wind on her backside. She was in British conquer mode, and wasn’t about to let a little cheek stand in her way.

The duo placed seventh in the race and are set to join the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, this February. I wonder if Gillian will pack an extra pair of lycra pants. You know, just in case? And how long do you think it’ll be before Hef asks her to pose for Playboy?
