United States hurdler Chris Robinson suffered an unfortunate 'equipment failure' after his genitals became exposed during his race on Tuesday night.
The 24-year-old finished first in the 400m hurdles at the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic.
But he was forced to make multiple adjustments throughout the race after inadvertently exposing himself.
Robinson hit both the ninth and the tenth hurdles as he attempted to fix his shorts but, miraculously, he was able to finish first with a season's best time of 48.05 seconds.
The American, who also won gold at the World Athletics Relays in China last month, somersaulted after crossing the line and could clearly see the funny side as he laid on his back smiling.
However, the broadcaster did not censor the race footage and Robinson's exposed penis was shown to viewers watching the replay around the world.
While reviewing the footage of Robinson's winning run, World Athletics commentator Tim Hutchings said: 'He was having an equipment failure, I think is probably the politest way to put it.
'That's a brilliant run from the American, to be constantly adjusting certain parts of his equipment and certainly his anatomy down the home straight and that top bend.
'Goodness me… constant adjustments going on, manhandling going on with his left hand.'
Hannah England, who was commentating on the event alongside Hutchings, then offered an apology to the viewers with Robinson's genitals on full display.
'We do apologise for the images here,' England said. 'I don't think the replays are being censored anywhere.' More Trending
But Hutchings opted to praise Robinson once again for his remarkable run.
'There hasn't been time to censor them but well done to Chris Robinson for battling a problem that does emerge occasionally,' Hutchings said.
'Perhaps in a race every two or three years you see scenes like this from men and women with parts of their equipment failing.
'It can make it very, very awkward, but that was a stunning effort to stay out in front with all that going on.'

Max Aarons highlights ‘new energy' and looks forward to life at Rangers
Aarons, who made a £7million transfer to Bournemouth immediately after being part of the England squad that won the Under-21 European Championship two years ago, feels he is joining the Light Blues at a good stage in his career. 🎙️ Watch our exclusive first interview with Max Aarons as he spoke to @RangersTV after joining the club. — Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) June 25, 2025 'I think now I've got a lot of experience, different leagues and I've played a lot of games,' he said in a club interview when asked what he will bring to the Light Blues. 'I think hopefully that experience, a new energy, and I think Rangers fans can be excited. I'm really looking forward to it.' The move to Glasgow reunites Aarons with Gers boss Russell Martin, who was coming towards the end of his time at Norwich while he was emerging from the academy into the first team. The new recruit said Martin was 'huge' in his development with 'little bits of help and advice along the way'. 'First and foremost, the size of this club was the main thing in coming here and Russ, when I was coming through at Norwich, was huge,' he said. 'Having a relationship with a coach and knowing how they work is huge for any player, so that was massive. Alongside the size of this club, I think everything just matched up perfectly.'

'I was speaking with one of my family members last night, actually, and I said that the pressure of playing for a club of this size is something that really excites me,' he said. 'I feel like I play my best when I have that, so I can't wait. 'I think any game with Rangers involved is a huge game. I can't wait to take in Ibrox and the fans, the whole thing.

Manager Martin, who has also been linked with Leicester defender Conor Coady, said: 'Max is a player who I have always kept a keen eye on since he was emerging through the youth ranks while I was coming to the end of my time at Norwich as a player. 'He is a wonderfully talented player who is hungry to develop, improve and help deliver success for his side. We are pleased to bring him on board for this season, and I believe he will be a fantastic addition to the squad.'

Gareth Southgate: I'm not missing managing England
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Sir Gareth Southgate says he does not miss being England manager and claims he felt the 'weight' of the job on a daily basis. Southgate spent nearly eight years in charge of England and stepped aside last summer after his team were beaten by Spain in the Euro 2024 final. The 54-year-old also came close to guiding England to victory at Euro 2020 as his side lost on penalties by Italy at Wembley, while at the 2018 World Cup, the Three Lions suffered a defeat to Croatia in the semi-final. Southgate endured heavy criticism during England's Euro 2024 campaign and was pelted with empty beer cups by supporters following a goalless draw against Slovenia in the group stage. However, he has been credited with restoring positivity and pride towards England's national side during his tenure. 'It is a little bit strange [watching the team] but also I'm not missing it,' Southgate, who received his knighthood for services to English football on Wednesday, said in an interview with BBC Sport. 'I think it's important that I am on that sofa and out of their way, you know. It's theirs to take on now and I think it's important that I give the team as much space as possible. 'I think it's hard to describe because until that weight's gone you don't necessarily realise just on a day-to-day basis, you know, every hour of my day was thinking about how do I make England better, what's happening with the players, how do we do things differently. World Cup 2018: Lost to Croatia in semi-final; then lost to Belgium in third-placed play-off Euro 2020: Lost to Italy on penalties in the final World Cup 2022: Lost to France in quarter final Euro 2024: Lost to Spain in the final 'So I think… any leader of big organisations, you're constantly thinking about how to do your job as well as you can.' More Trending Southgate was also reluctant to respond to the assessment from current England manager Thomas Tuchel, who claimed England lacked a clear playing style at Euro 2024 last year. 'I don't think it's important how I took it or what I think,' Southgate said. 'I think what's really important is for me to give the team, the manager, the space to operate. I think that's the right thing to do. 'I've had an amazing experience leading my country, but it's time for them to take it forward now and I'll be a fan at home supporting it.'
