Watch the awkward moment US sprinter has a wardrobe malfunction... but still manages to save first place
In competitive running, a wardrobe malfunction is typically a devastating occurrence which has caused athletes to lose races altogether. But American Chris Robinson was able to overcome a truly embarrassing clothing failure to win a 400m hurdles event at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in Czechia. While running the event, Robinson's shorts were not able to keep his genitals from being exposed to all those watching. He made multiple attempts to adjust his shorts to try and prevent any further embarrassment to himself. But eventually, he gave up his attempts to keep himself covered and focused on finishing the race. As he crossed the line in first place, 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. He crossed the line six hundredths of a second ahead of Brazilian Matheus Lima at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, while Czech Vit Muller (48.41) was third. Earlier this year, Robinson was part of a team that won gold in the 4x400m mixed relay at the 2025 World Relay Championships in Guangzhou.
