Teammates Julian Forte, Yohan Blake, and Omar McLeod ran to help Usain Bolt after he suffered a hamstring injury during the Men’s 4x100M Final at the London World Championships on Saturday.
Bolt staggered to a halt halfway down the straight, dropping the baton before performing a forward somersault on the track as he chased gold for Jamaica.
