It’s a good thing Usain Bolt won his 10th gold medal at the World Championships today before he was pursued by the cameraman on a segway - because this nasty crash could really have upset his chances.

As the cameraman filmed the athlete following his 200m victory, he lost control of the segway board he was riding and knocked Usain’s feet out from underneath him, sending him flying to the floor.

But, cool as ever, Usain backwards-rolled to his feet with a smile on his face.

We can’t promise the same for that cameraman’s sense of shame, though. Woops!
