As Usain Bolt was celebrating his fourth 200-meter win in a row at the World Championships in Beijing on Thursday, the Jamaican sprinter was unexpectedly bowled over by a Segway-riding photographer.
Bolt was in the middle of a 20-minute victory lap around the track when the photographer lost control of his Segway and veered into the sprinter, sending them both crashing to the ground. Ever the athlete, Bolt rebounded by doing a backwards roll, leaping to his feet and resuming his victory jog around the track.
Although he later revealed that the crash left him with a cut on his leg, both the runner and the photographer escaped the incident largely unscathed. Yes, that means it's safe to laugh now. olt himself showed his sense of humor about the incident when, upon viewing the video for the first time, he said, "Oh, took me out like! Bro!"
The two men came face to face again on Friday when the cameraman presented Bolt with a gift, said to be a friendship bracelet, to apologise for the accident.
