Stephanie Rice, an Australian Olympic swimmer, has been criticized for carrying a swimsuit ... but it's not like one among her usual racing items.
The Olympian posted a photograph to Twitter of her in a very skimpy black and white crisscrossed bikini. The attractive suit was a 24th-birthday present from designer Ellie Gonsalves.

"Thank you to the beautiful @elliegonsalves for my birthday @veveswimwear bikini," Rice posted at the side of the shot.
The three-time Olympic gold medalist has been slammed for posting the "racy" picture. Rice suffered backlash on Twitter from fans, one follower beneath the name @allyouzombies going as so much as to say she "has brought disgrace to the australian swim team and he or she ought to be dropped."
While critics have slammed the shot, others are returning to the swimmer's defense. Designer Ellie Gonsalves posted a photograph of herself on Twitter carrying the attractive suit.
"Don't begin a war with the queens of selfies - you won't win! Right ItsStephRice?," the designer posted.
The Olympian is not any stranger to online controversy. Rice was slammed in 2010 once posting what was interpreted as a homophobic slur.
"Suck on that f----ts," Rice tweeted once Australia defeated South Africa in a very rugby match. The controversial swimmer obviously hasn't learned her lesson regarding tweeting things that would be interpreted the wrong way.
Rice will defend her Olympic titles in a very additional conservative swimsuit throughout the 2012 London Olympic Games next month.
