Hurdler Chris Robinson left the race track in Czechia as a winner - and unfortunately, something of a flasher.
The 24-year-old athlete suffered quite the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while he was flying over the obstacles at high-speed during the Ostrava Golden Spike meet at the Metsky Stadium.
Despite his manhood making an unexpected appearance mid-race, forcing him to repeatedly fumble with his shorts, Robinson still managed to triumph at the 400m hurdles event.
All in a day's work, eh lads?

In footage of the race in the Czech Republic which has since gone viral, Robinson drastically outshines his competitors thanks to both his speed...and his penis poking out of his shorts.
Somewhat hilariously, he managed to tuck his tackle away at various points while leaving his rivals in his dust - but each time he hauled himself over the next hurdle, it reemerged.
So there was quite a lot of back and forth, however, he managed to style out the indiscretion with his penis for the most part.
Dually celebrating his victory and the fact he no longer had to fanny around with his shorts, the world champion hurdler was seen coolly somersaulting across the finish line before laying on his back and grinning.

Incredibly, despite his ordeal during the 400m race, Robinson managed to win the event with a time of 48.05 - which is just one-tenth of a second off of his personal best.
The stunned commentators who had been providing a blow-by-blow of the track event somehow managed to stifle their laughter while announcing his win.
"Congratulations to Chris Robinson for battling a problem that does emerge occasionally, various parts of their equipment failure can make it very awkward," one said. "But that was a stunning effort to be out in front, very nearly a personal best with those adjustments going on.
"Constant man-handling going on with the left hand, but boy he just stayed in front, dipping at the line and getting home in the lead."

Some channels were broadcasting the event live, meaning they didn't have the opportunity to censor Robinson's impromptu penis display - so millions of people saw his manhood live in the flesh.
World Athletics commentator Tim Hutchings praised the American's 'brilliant run' while saying: "To be constantly adjusting certain parts of his equipment and possibly his anatomy down the home straight there around that top bend there...
"He hit that ninth hurdle hard. He was having an equipment failure there. I think that is probably the politest way to put it. There hasn't been time to censor them, but well done to Chris Robinson for battling a problem that does emerge occasionally.
"Perhaps in a race every two or three years you see scenes like this from men and women with parts of their equipment failing.
"It can make it very, very awkward, but that was a stunning effort to stay out in front with all that going on."

As you can imagine, social media users have been having a field day with penis-related puns after Robinson accidentally gave everyone a flash - but I'll let you do your own research into that.
