Dropping a nut in extra short shorts is always super awkward, but having your entire junk fall out mid-hurdles is so much worse. But the embarrassing mishap, going viral, has resulted in Chris Robinson landing some pretty great underwear sponsorship offers.
American hurdler Chris Robinson had the worst thing that could possibly happen, happen during the 400-meter hurdles. As he was pacing down the track, toward the camera, his junk broke free of his clearly ineffective shorts.
While still maintaining the lead, his manhood can be seen slapping around his thighs. Despite the wardrobe malfunction, he still managed to cross the line first, taking a tumble to save whatever is left of his dignity.

The internet was delighted by the extra sexy hurdles race, with some calling foul. “Swinging the helicopter strategy for the extra push, well done,” one user commented.
Wardrobe Malfunction Results in Unusual Sponsorship Route For Chris Robinson
For any runner, there are a few essential pieces of equipment. The first is the shoes. It’s now clear that in second place is a pair of underwear that won’t have your tackle slapping about. For Chris Robinson, a pair of reinforced sports shorts was in order.
Shinesty has jumped on the viral sensation. They’ve offered the racer a sponsorship and a pair of underwear that won’t let him down. They claim that their ‘Magnum Pouch Ball Hammock’ will be able to keep his beast tamed, at least until he passes the finish line anyway.
Krakatoa has also reached out to Chris Robinson, offering a fig leaf of sorts to help him in future races. They claim, “We have a special pouch in front, to keep things separated, and not slapping around.” A sponsorship deal is great for Robinson. But, by the looks of the comments, a lot of middle-aged mums are going to be very disappointed when they come to see him run later in the season.
It’s certainly not the usual route to winning a sponsorship. But, this wardrobe malfunction has certainly put hurdle racer Robinson on the map, and probably in a few people’s hearts, too.
