Updated: We've now seen the video and Bolt didn't trip over a cameraman, he was run over by the guy on a segway. Must see
. Fortunately Bolt is ok
Only guy stopping Bolt tonight was a cameraman. Bolt fell over him on his victory lap and limped a bit getting up but appears ok.
Then a couple minutes later a Chinese guy jumped the fence to get next to Bolt and then tried to go back and was chased by local security.
I go to the bathroom for 1 second and I miss that! *sigh*
the segway cameraguy hit the camera train rail, lost control and slammed into el bolto from behind
Correction: We just saw it.
The Segway guy RAN OVER Bolt. Could have really injured him.

Yup, definitely under
Is that a Segway or some kind of Chinese knock-off?
Had that been in N Korea that camera guy would have been executed asap. He's a damn menace!
Interesting fact: The former owner of Segway was killed on a Segway. Lost control and rode it off a cliff IIRC.
That could have been a career ending injury.
Gatlin is like, "You were supposed to hit him BEFORE the race."
Welcome to China...
DOWN GOES BOLT! DOWN GOES BOLT!

Anyone who lives where there are a large number of Chinese drivers is not at all surprised by this.
A small number too.
BOLT GOES HOME DEVASTATED by late Chinese entrant

Heh. I stand (happily) corrected.
"The Segway guy RAN OVER Bolt. Could have really injured him."
Do you know the difference between running over something and going under something, right?
I love how the only video of this is from some guy recording his television, with screaming kids in the background. And this is the only video all the so called journalist are using.
I predict this ends Bolt's season. He won't run the relay and is done for the year.
He seemed ok, but it hit his Achilles pretty bad and also looked like it jammed his back - which had been a long time source of injury.
I hope I am wrong but these minor things can destroy thorough breds.

I agree. There's no way that didn't badly bruise his Achilles
