American sprinter Chris Robinson crossed the finish line first to bag the men’s 400-meter hurdles at the Ostrava Golden Spike 2025 tournament in Czechia, despite battling an awkward wardrobe malfunction.

On Tuesday, the 24-year-old sprinter remained resilient and composed even after realising that his private parts had become fully exposed. During the hurdles race, he was seen repeatedly trying to adjust his shorts while still making all possible efforts to run at top speed, New York Post reported.

After realising that he wouldn't be able to do anything with it, Robinson decided to ignore the embarrassment and stay focused on winning the event. Eventually, he was able to reach the finish line in 48.05 seconds.

Notably, Robinson was comfortably able to take a sizable lead in the race, but Brazil’s Matheus Lima reached close to him after his multiple efforts to rectify the wardrobe malfunction. In the end, the final time was one-tenth of a second slower than Robinson's personal best.

As he crossed the finish line, Robinson was seen performing a somersault onto the track in exhaustion. He even smiled and shook his head at what happened during the event.
