This is a fun one. It kind of looks like a clip from an ’80s screwball comedy, where a gangly honeymooner wearing a golf cap finds himself on the Olympic track with the world’s greatest… and promptly falls into last place.
It’s also one of the most exciting final 100m sprints to gold you’ll ever see, with two men posting identical world record times.
Enjoy!
