It's not often that an item of clothing achieves iconic status - but in the final of the 1999 Women's World Cup a certain sports bra was thrust into the global spotlight.

After scoring the winning penalty kick for the USA, Brandi Chastain celebrated in the time-honoured tradition of male athletes by ripping off her shirt to reveal the Nike bra underneath.  

Twenty years later, Nike caught up with Chastain to find out whatever happened to the infamous underwear - and turned it into this cool animation, courtesy of Strange Beast's Caitlyn McCarthy.
