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.
