Edwin Kipsang Rotich had to fight off a member of the public during a 10km race in Brazil, before remarkably going on to win it after police had restrained the man.
The Kenyan long distance runner was leading the race on the streets of Cuiaba when 33-year-old Wallace de Sousa Nogueira sprinted up to him and attempted to rugby tackle him.
Rotich managed to shake his attacker off, as three police officers on motorcycles prevented Nogueira returning for a second attempt.
