Luckily, nobody was seriously injured.
A BMX rider at the Tokyo Olympics was in the middle of a race when he plowed into a race official.
Why was the race official in the middle of the course? I don't know. But being on the course when a race is happening is a bad idea.
So this is what happened today. 💣 Hit an official that wanted to cross the 2nd straight. Hope the official is O.K. My knee is sore, but will do my best to be ready for Thursday! Thanks everyone for the messages, appreciate it! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/QOdJ2r0usT
