Streaker breaks onto the track minutes before men’s 100m final at London 2017

A man without clothes managed to get onto the track and get a quick sprint in before security took him away at the IAAF World Championships

Streaker World Championships

The crowd roared minutes before the men’s 100m final at the IAAF World Championships in London.

Not because of the athlete introductions, but because of a streaker who made his way onto the track in front of a crowd of 56,000. Once security corralled the streaker, he was escorted out of view before the athletics action continued for the final event on day two of the 10-day world championships.

Justin Gatlin went on to win 100m gold ahead of Christian Coleman and Usain Bolt.
