Olympic Diver Draws Top Sports Bra Bid So Far

Set to run through Saturday, the MZ & Emmers Sports Bra Auction for Breast Cancer features athletic undergarments from female competitors around the world.

As of Monday night, Christina Loukas—a diver, member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, and nine-time national champion—had the highest bid in the MZ & Emmers Sports Bra Auction for Breast Cancer with $330.01.

She didn't have the most bids, though, out of the 227 items available, the vast majority of which are signed sports bras from female athletes around the world. That goes to ESPN reporter Sarah Spain with 54 bids; her high bid was $300.

The auction . Proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Survivors’ Network, Keep a Breast Foundation, and a California branch of Susan G. Komen, where Zerboni's family lives.

There are still plenty of low-bidding opportunities left for those wanting to contribute but not being financially able to fork out the big bucks, including the initial $50 bid for perhaps the most famous sports-bra wearer of all time, Brandi Chastain.
