An athlete competing in a 400m race during the World Athletics Championships suffered a wardrobe malfunction. The Italian decathlete competitor was forced to complete the race with his privates hanging out of his loose-fitting shorts, and ended up coming last.
Alberto Nonino blasted past two rivals in terrific style on the last bend in the World Athletics Under-20 Championships in Cali, Colombia, but in the final straight he slowed down and was filmed grabbing his crotch. His competitors then went past him and he finished at the back of the pack.
The 18-year-old’s problems down below were immediately cited as the reason for his slow-down. According to the Mirror sports journalist David Sanchez de Castro left nothing to the imagination by revealing in a tweet alongside footage of Nonino’s embarrassing moment: “Last series of the 400 meters decathlon. The Italian Alberto Nonino in lane five begins very well but crosses the finishing line last. He had his ***** out, literally.”
