TV cameraman gives Usain Bolt bracelet apology after knocking him over

By , Staff Reporter |
Olympic champion Usain Bolt receives a bracelet from a TV cameraman who knocked the sprinter to the ground by accidentally slamming into him on a Segway.

A TV cameraman covering the World Athletics Championships in Beijing has given Olympic champion Usain Bolt a bracelet as an apology gift for knocking the sprinter over following his gold-medal triumph.

The Jamaican world-record holder was knocked off his feet when broadcast journalist Tao Song crashed into him on a Segway after the 200m final.

Bolt beat former drug cheat Justin Gatlin for the second time at the Championships by winning the 200m final on Thursday.

Following the unfortunate incident during Bolt's celebrations, the cameraman approached the 29-year-old after he was handed his gold medal and gave him a bracelet as an apology.

Bolt has won 10 World medals and has been crowned Olympic champion six times in his career so far.
