Halfway through, his private parts became exposed. Had to adjust his shorts five times — it kept happening after every hurdle.
And he still won in an SB of 48.05!https://t.co/83Uqer6VqX pic.twitter.com/p9dX2xCIw5

Chris Robinson wins Ostrava 400m hurdles amidst wardrobe malfunction
Chris Robinson recently pulled off an incredible performance at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet in Ostrava. The young track and field star managed the win despite a major wardrobe malfunction. As the race began, the 24-year-old faced a wardrobe malfunction about 250 meters into the 400m hurdles, leaving him repeatedly adjusting his shorts while sprinting at full pace as his d*ck kept popping out of his tiny loose shorts.
Robinson had to constantly adjust his shorts about five times as his private parts fell out while running at full speed. Despite the setback, he smashed into the final hurdle and tumbled into a somersault, winning the race with a time of 48.05 seconds. Robinson managed to beat Brazil’s Matheus Lima by 0.06 seconds, while Czech athlete Vit Muller came in at third. During the race, commentator Tim Hutchings tactfully described the scene as “an equipment failure” and then praised Robinson’s grit for powering through for a win despite the embarrassing and challenging situation.
