Usain Bolt clinches World Championships sprint double after beating two-time drug cheat, Justin Gatlin for second time...then gets taken out by cameraman on a Segway!
Usain Bolt jogged through the line beating his clenched fists against his chest as he defeated twice drugs-cheat, Justin Gatlin for the second time in a week before being taken out by a cameraman who lost control of his Segway.
After beating American Gatlin in the 100m on Sunday, the Jamaican breezed to 200m victory in 19.55sec, the fastest time in the world this year and his quickest since winning gold at London 2012.
But there was drama on the lap of honour afterwards with security scare. He seemingly avoided serious injury after being run over by a cameraman riding a Segway.
The cameraman took him out from behind and Bolt’s legs, surely the most prized in world sport, were taken from underneath him. Bolt fell to the floor but was quickly up on his feet again checking himself over for injury.
‘He tried to kill me!. I don’t know what he was going on. It was like: “You are winning too much – take him out!’ Bolt said afterwards.
