Jamaican hurdler Hansle Parchment feared he'd be late for his race when he got on the wrong bus and ended up at a different venue.
An Olympic gold medalist has tracked down and thanked a Tokyo 2020 volunteer who gave him cab fare to get to the right venue for his race when he was running late. Jamaican hurdler Hansle Parchment explained what happened in a video on Instagram over the weekend after he won gold in the 110-meter men’s hurdle finals on Thursday. Parchment said he had gotten on the wrong bus to the semifinals last week. He’d been listening to music and didn’t realize until it was too late that he’d ended up at an aquatics venue instead of the Olympic Stadium, he said.More Related News
