Usain Bolt won gold this afternoon in the 200m final, but was lucky to escape injury in the moments after the race.
The Jamaican star was waving to the stands when he was upended by a passing TV cameraman.
The cameraman was riding a segway and recording footage of Bolt when the wheels got caught and knocked off-course.
The segway turned towards Bolt and runner and cameraman ended up in a tangle on the ground.
Luckily the World Champion was uninjured. Let’s hope the cameraman is also ok – and still in a job.

If this had been worse it might've been the craziest injury in sports history. Lucky Bolt… https://t.co/QVFxuStITQ

Gatlin couldn't bring Bolt down but the hapless chap on his Segway could: http://t.co/2NhCuTmVEZ
