Not balls out, but close

Because I have a 12 year old boy’s sense of humor, this made me laugh and will hopefully start your weekend right….

At a track meet in the Czech Republic, an American runner has now dashed into the realm of legend.

From Running Magazine:

Going “balls out” isn’t meant to be taken literally, but that might be news to American hurdler Chris Robinson. At Tuesday’s Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic, the sprinter suffered a massive wardrobe malfunction while running the 400m hurdles, resulting in a very clear shot of his junk falling clean out of his split shorts. And despite reaching down to adjust himself as he came down the final stretch, Robinson was still first to cross the finish line, clocking a season’s best of 48.05 seconds.

Not only that, but he did a somersault at the end, thus giving everyone watching (and I’m sure they were) another view of what is described as an impressive accoutrement.

There’s video of the somersault here. It is not safe for work. I checked.

    OMG…. Yeah, that’s going viral as hell for sure. Gotta hand it to him though, he was utterly perseverant. Though one has to wonder…

    Obviously, not a Boy Scout. Unless of course it was part of the plan all along. Too, too funny.

    boneman–Set a season record. Maybe we need to go back to Greek times when they all ran naked.

    Frank–Enough times to make sure that I knew it wasn’t safe for work…. 😉

    Some balls are held for charity
    And some for fancy dress
    But when they’re uncontained,
    They’re the balls that I like best.

    – Bon Scott (probably)

      BRD–I could see that being a Bon Scott quote… 😉

    As a hetero male, free-range wieners doesn’t do anything for me; so I’ll skip watching the video clip. I can still snark on the site, though. FYI – I still appreciate the memes, so thanks.

    As a fellow owner of dangly bits myself, and a former athlete, it is hard to understand why a man would not avail himself of the exact appliance made for just such activities- the lowly, humble JOCKSTRAP….unless he was shooting for his 15 (or less) minutes of fame. Not to take the silly fun away from your silly fun or anything, but average owners of male plumbing are programmed by instinct to protect the jewels at all costs.

      TRoy–I do not possess such jewels, but was wondering the same thing myself. I can’t think that it would be comfortable to have everything jangling around while going over hurdles.
