BEIJING -- Usain Bolt and the clumsy cameraman returned to the scene of their collision, only this time there was nobody doing backflips.
When they met again Friday, Bolt had just received his gold medal for winning the 200-meter final the previous night -- the race that preceded a dramatic collision with a TV cameraman who was filming his celebration from a two-wheel motorized vehicle.
The two-wheeler hit a metal rail on the side of the track and veered right into the back of Bolt. He hit the Jamaican in the legs and both fell backward onto the track. Bolt flipped back onto his feet and, after checking to see if the TV operator was OK, walked away.
Video of the accident went viral, and Bolt said he was OK apart from a few scratches.
On Friday, they shook hands and smiled, much to the amusement of the crowd at the Bird's Nest.
