Chris Robinson, an American athlete, won first place in the 400-meter hurdles at the Ostrava Golden Spike international meeting in Ostrava, despite an unexpected accident.

During the race, specifically just before the final stretch, the 24-year-old Robinson experienced a problem with his jockstrap, which broke. Nevertheless, he managed to finish first with a time of 48.05.

Robinson, who had a top performance of 47.95 and this year's best time of 48.76, did a somersault after finishing, possibly to avoid coverage by the cameras.

The 64th Ostrava Golden Spike international meeting attracted dozens of athletes, with Robinson's race drawing attention.
