Hey.. anyone see that photographer take the header onto the track after the Men's 5000 meter final? I caught it on CBC, but the cut away really quick, and then later, they showed it again, and brought up this graphic like an olympic athlete's judging scores.. the name was Hans Held, and he got like.. 1.0s and 2.0s.. and they made on judge give him a 10.

Hilarious stuff. Poor guy though, his camera went bouncing around.. *wince*. Ah well, he probably has insurance. I wonder if they cover "Acts of Sod"

It was probably leased/loaned/owned by the company if I understand how sports photogs work...

On the Canadian broadcast they actually went back and showed him fall a number of times, even in slow motion! It was hilarious. They even gave him set it up as an event - the 'trip jump' - and gave him scores for the fall.

Aaaah, good ole CBC!
