Athletics:Segway cameraman who floored Usain Bolt says he is ready to get back to work


The cameraman who did what Usain Bolt’s sprint rivals could not and toppled the Jamaican is back to work after his brush with global fame and said he felt fine.

Song Tao, who works for the host broadcaster CCTV, has covered many sporting events including the Asian Games and the Olympics. But he had never come face to face with a global icon before he inadvertently crashed into Bolt on the athlete’s victory lap after the 200m.

Back at work and ready to film the medal ceremonies – including Bolt’s – before Friday night’s action began in the Bird’s Nest, Song revealed he had apologised to Bolt after the incident.
