After garnering the highest number of gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China is expected to put in another strong performance in the upcoming 2012 Games in London.
But they are not getting any help from this guy.
A hilarious video of a young Chinese runner’s abysmal performance at the 110 meter hurdles event of the Chinese University Games has gone viral.
Immediately after the race starts, he stumbles on the first hurdle, and then on the second.
From that point on, jumping over hurdles becomes irrelevant to him. He just rams straight through the hurdles.
But one hurdle gets caught around his neck, and the runner stumbles into his competitor’s lane.
Still refusing to quit the guy keeps running. He smashes the next hurdle and finally jumps, and unsurprisingly trips, over the final hurdle.
Amazingly, he managed to cross the finish line before three other competitors, including the unfortunate runner whose lane he briefly trespassed on.
