For the second time in four days Usain Bolt this afternoon overcame Justin Gatlin to win his fourth 200m world title in a time of 19.55 seconds.

It was another triumph for Bolt in the so-called "Good v Evil" battle but things turned nasty for the Jamaican post-race.

As he celebrated with fans on the side of the track, a cameraman lost control of his segway, veering off course and crashing into Bolt’s legs.

Everything about this Vine is incredible. Glad @usainbolt is OK. https://t.co/ciJlU58yr0

The world champion lost his balance but was, thankfully, okay.

Lucky for the cameraman too; those legs must be worth quite a lot of money...
