World champion’s wardrobe malfunction fails to thwart 400m win

A world champion athlete overcame a wardrobe malfunction to win a 400m race on Wednesday (25 June).

American hurdler Chris Robinson was competing in the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in the Czech Republic when his genitals became exposed mid-race.

The athlete can be seen trying to adjust his shorts to preserve his modesty; however, he later gives up after multiple attempts.
