AUSTRALIA
During a Test match between Australia and India at the MCG a cameraman crashed a Segway when he failed to notice Brad Haddin's helmet on the field. Joe Previtera was filming the players but as he made his way off the field, he circled behind the Australian slips and tumbled straight over the helmet. Classic blooper!!

Marathon Man Loses £17k
AUSTRALIA - Gold Coast Marathon
Kenyan athlete Nicholas Manza Kamakaya missed out on a £17,000 bonus by just one second as he won the Gold Coast Marathon in Australia.
The 26-year-old won the race in a time of 2 hours 10 minutes and one second - thereby missing out on the huge cash bonus for a runner hitting the 2:10 barrier by the narrowest of margins.
Even worse, Kamakaya was on schedule to record a time of around 2:09:30 until the later stages of the race - and though he ran hard over most of the final 100 yards, he slowed right down as he broke the tape with his arms held aloft.

Here is the footage that the news caught (not much really!):
Here's a different view of the accident, this time from someone right next to the crowd! **Some viewers might find the footage disturbing**
