Usain Bolt is giving the world something to talk about besides winning a sprint double and gold medal in Beijing at the World Athletics Championships, he took a major fall when a cameraman crashed into him on a Segway. Watch the funny viral video below!
In the video clip below, you can see Bolt waving at his fans as they congratulate him on his win, and then all of sudden he takes a fall after the segway crashes into him, rolling over to recover with no bruises.
Down goes #UsainBolt! He's still winning though!

The Jamaican beat his rival, American sprinter Justin Gatlin, in the 200m final. The 10-time world champ was relieved that the Segway crash didn't hurt him in areas he needs in order to run.
"It didn't actually hit me in my Achilles, it hit me in my calf area," Bolt said, according to The Guardian. "It's alright, I will get over it. Never a doubt [for the relays], never a doubt. I am just going to get it massaged, ice it up a bit and I should be fine." The world favorite added: "The rumour I'm trying to start right now is that Justin Gatlin paid him off."
The Segway's attention seemed to have more attention than the comments Gatlin made about seeing his rival once again on the track field in Rio 2016. "I'm the oldest man in the field and still running, running pretty well," the American said. "It feels good to go against [Bolt]. I'm just going to prepare myself for next year, for the Olympics and come out even stronger."
When it comes to Bolt's jokes about paying off the segway driver, Gatlin replied: "I want my money back." Bolt makes running still look like a piece of cake. At the finish line, it appeared that he was jogging while the other runners, including Gatlin, tried to catch up, but the race was already won.
MStars News wants to know who will you be cheering for in 2016 at the Olympic games in Rio? Will it be Bolt or Gatlin? Usain ran a great 19.55 seconds race, as Gatlin ran a 19.74. Zharnel Hughes of Britain, trains with Bolt but was too slow to catch up with the unstoppable Jamaican as he ran a 20.02 and placed fifth in his first huge final.
At only 29 years old, Bolt is still the man everyone wants to beat. He's dominated his title for seven years. Bolt remains positive and encourages anyone out there who has goals and dreams. In the snapshot below, Bolt wrote before his race: "They said it couldn't be done..But my peeps even when they tell you that all the odds are against you never give up.."

He continues, sharing that he remains faithful by believing in God, "Fight on and keep believing in your God ability."
It's great that Bolt is truly an inspiration to a generation.
