Page "Streaking" Paragraph 22

The 1996 Wimbledon's Men's singles final between MaliVai Washington and Richard Krajicek was interrupted by a female streaker just before the toss.

Melissa Johnson, a 23-year-old student, thereby became Wimbledon's first streaker.

She ran onto the ground with an apron on, which she lifted to reveal her vulva to the players and crowd.

In 2006 a quarter-final match between Elena Dementieva and Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon was interrupted by a male streaker, who was escorted off court by police.

He was later identified as Dutch radio DJ Sander Lantinga, who was streaking for a TV show called Try Before You Die.
