US sprint star who suffered NSFW wardrobe malfunction during a race receives shock new job offer
The US track star who suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction in the middle of a race last week has been handed an unexpected job offer - to become an underwear model. Chris Robinson was running the 400m hurdles at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in Czechia last week when a nightmare occurred and his manhood fell out of his shorts. But while the American may have initially been embarrassed by the NSFW malfunction, the job offers are now flooding in - and it appears he may be interested in earning himself a quick buck. According to TMZ, underwear company Shinesty have reached out to Robinson to offer him the chance to model their products, just days after his private parts slipped out of his shorts for the world to see. The company are known for their humorous products and appear to be leaning into the comedy aspect of Robinson's manhood mistake. It is understood they are keen for the track star to model their new 'Magnum Pouch Ball Hammock' underwear, which has a front pocket 47 per cent larger than the average. TMZ report that Robinson is open to speaking to the company, and could be set to cash in on what was initially a nightmare scenario mid-race. The incident unfolded on the home straight of the 400m hurdle race, with cameras capturing Robinson trying desperately - and failing - to keep his genitals from popping out of his shorts. Despite multiple attempts to adjust his shorts to try and prevent any further embarrassment to himself, he eventually gave up his attempts to keep himself covered and focused on finishing the race. Shinesty are well-known for their lighthearted and humorous underwear designs As he crossed the line - in first place, no less - Robinson rolled into a somersault and laid on the track with a smile at his result. The time of 48.05 seconds was just one-tenth of a second off of his personal best, and stood as his best time of the season. Robinson beat out Brazilian hurdler Matheus Lima by just six hundredths of a second. Third place was Czech native Vit Muller, who ran a time of 48.41 seconds in his home nation.

'Another national record!' — Gout Gout sets new Australian 200m record in Ostrava
Photo: Australian teenage sprinter Gout Gout made history in his first-ever senior international competition at the Ostrava Golden Spike as he set a new Australian national record of 20.02 seconds in the 200 metres. The young athlete also improved his previous record by two-hundredths of a second. At the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet in the Czech Republic, the 17-year-old athlete finished 0.17 seconds ahead of Reynier Mena from Cuba. Briton Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake was third with a final time of 20.60 seconds. Gout has had the chance to compete internationally in under-20 and under-18 competitions in the past seasons, but the Ostrava meet was his debut senior race outside Australia. For the record, this was the venue where Bolt was scheduled to make his European debut as a 17-year-old in 2004. However, a hamstring injury stopped him from competing. After his impressive win, Gout admitted: 'I've felt stronger in training these last couple of months and I've felt good since I got to Europe last Thursday.' He added: 'I knew Mena would come hard at me the first 100, but I was confident I'd be close enough to come home strongly in the second part of the race, which is, of course, my stronger part… I felt calm but strong as I came off the turn and was confident I'd be strong enough to get the win. Another national record; pretty happy with that. It's not a bad first up in Europe.' Because of his exceptional performances in the field, Gout Gout has been included in the Australian team at the World Championships in Tokyo this coming September. On social media, World Athletics shared Gout's achievement, saying: 'Dream European debut ✨… Australia's @ powers to 20.02 in the men's 200m at @zlatatretra 😎 First senior race abroad ✅. First race ever in Europe ✅. First senior win abroad ✅. Breaks area record ✅.' Netizens were quick to congratulate the rising sprinter, leaving a flood of encouraging comments under the video. Many praised his impressive performance and potential, with one remarking, 'New star was born 🔥🔥 keep going 💪.' Another wrote, 'Congrats, Gout! Smashing the Aussie record in your first senior race in Europe is huge. I'm proud to be part of your journey and can't wait for what's next. Keep smashing it!' Others added, 'This kid is goin' places, he will go far,' and 'The kid got IT🔥.' One fan even joked, 'How did the camera capture him 🤔 faster than sight 🔥🔥🔥🔥.'
