Ivan Ukhov, men's high jump gold medallist can't find shirt
Ivan Ukhov almost missed his chance at the Gold medal in men's high jump. After removing his singlet prior to one of his jumps, he misplaced it and with the clock running on his turn at the high jump bar, frantically rummaged through his bag and under the bench looking for it.
Finally, an official hands him a baggy blue t-shirt and Ukhov pins his number to it and dashes off to complete his jump.
Performing well under pressure, Ukhov managed to snag the gold medal, clearing 2.38 on his first attempt. Canada's Derek Drouin won bronze.
It's not the first time Ukhov has drawn attention with his misadventures, in 2008 he earned a “strong warning” from the IAAF for being drunk during a competition.
