Not quite the same thing, but back in college my junior year we were in the conference finals, hosted at our pool. It was a really close meet between the top three teams. I swam fly on the team medley. When we finished we had won the medley by mere fractions. The win put us on top and we went on to win the meet. The campus newspaper took a picture of me jumping in the air, one arm up in celebration. I was in my still wet race brief. The next issue had that picture front page under the headline Mens Swimming Champions. It was a tabloid so the picture took up most of the cover. For the next few days I had students saying, "hey, you're the guy in the Speedo" or stuff like that. Nothing mean, but it was weird seeing my nearly naked picture all over campus. To be young, again....
