Usain Bolt gets destroyed by cameraman on a segway after winning gold medal (video)

Usain Bolt continued to do what he does best on Thursday, as he left his opponents in the dust and won the gold medal in the 200-meter sprint at the World Championships in Beijing. Justin Gatlin finished in second place and took home the silver medal.

Bolt’s win was a no-doubter as he finished with a time of 19.55 seconds, which is quite different than Sunday when he attained the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint—edging out Gatlin by just .01 seconds.

But unfortunately for Bolt, he got caught up in a nasty spill after the race that could’ve gotten ugly. After he dusted Gatlin and the rest of the field, a cameraman on a segway snuck up behind him, lost his balance and took out Bolt.

The good news is that no one was seriously injured. But come on, camera bro, you had one job! It’s great getting an action shot, but please, give the man a little space next time.
