World Athletics Championship sprinter grimaces in pain as buggies crash
Two buggies carrying athletes to the men’s 200m semi-finals have crashed outside the National Athletics Centre in Budapest moments before they are set to take to the track. The golf carts, loaded up with six or seven athletes including reigning 200m champion Noah Lyles, collided with each other at a crossroad as one sprinter was flung onto the tarmac.
Two pedestrians had a close shave when they were nearly caught up in the impact but according to reports, everyone came out unscathed despite one athlete seen holding his eye while grimacing in pain. Reacting to the bizarre scenes, BBC presenter Gabby Logan said: “You can see there was an accident, two buggies collided, two pedestrians almost in the mix there, one guy you can see there stumbling away.
“Noah Lyles at the front of the buggy there… There was a lot of confusion because we’ve only just seen those shots so we haven’t had confirmation that everyone is okay but it has been confirmed that everything is going to go off on time which would indicate that they are all okay. I’m not quite sure how that even happens?”
Michael Johnson replied: “You had one job. Stay out of the way of the other buggies. Come on!”
Denis Williams then quipped: “Mirror, signal, manoeuvre, just the basics that’s all you can ask for. It’s terrible though.”
