A young swimmer was disqualified after a race for how her swimsuit fit her body. After public outcry, the decision was reversed. 

Breckynn Willis, a member of the swim team at Dimond High School in Anchorage, Alaska, had competed in four events at a swim competition Friday. She swam in and won a heat during the meet, but a race official said that her swimsuit had shifted into a position that showed too much of her backside. 

The official said Breckynn's team-issued swimsuit didn't fit her properly and thus violated a rule, according to a statement from the Anchorage School District.
