Following an incredible double victory at the World Championships in Beijing where the famous Jamaican runner sprinted to victory in both the 100- and 200-meter finals, Usain Bolt encountered a formidable competitor: a reporter on a Segway.
If you are on two wheels near the greatest athletes in the world, it would probably be best to take a bit more care. But luckily, Bolt escaped from the crash more or less unscathed.
He told reporters on the scene: “It didn’t actually hit me in my Achilles, it hit me in my calf area…It’s alright, I will get over it. Never a doubt [for the relays], never a doubt. I am just going to get it massaged, ice it up a bit and I should be fine.”
