Just as Bolt fell, another cameraman rushed to help. The good news is that Bolt and the cameraman were not injured in the accident. Bolt made light of the incident and joked about it. “
They tried to kill me
,” he told the BBC on the incident_._ He also joked later that Gatlin must have paid him off. The cameraman must be taking a sigh of relief. Had the segway collision hurt Bolt and injured the world’s most valuable legs, the cameraman would become news instead of covering it. Usain Bolt won the 200 metres event at the Worlds clocking a time of 19.55 seconds with Justin Gatlin coming in second. Watch Bolt brought down below:
