American Chris Robinson overcame an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction to win the 400 metres hurdles at the Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic on Tuesday, finishing in 48.05 seconds.

The 24-year-old had to adjust his shorts several times after inadvertently exposing himself and hit the final hurdle hard, rolling into a somersault after crossing the finish line.

Robinson lay on the track grinning after achieving his best time of the season, just a tenth of a second off his personal best.

He crossed the line six hundredths of a second ahead of Brazilian Matheus Lima at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, with Czech Vit Muller (48.41) finishing third.
