Please indulge the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragger in me with this epic Long Jump video fail:
Backstory and video after the jump.
The random female athlete walking into long jumper Kofi Prah’s path is three-time World Champion distance runner Gabi Szabo, shortly after she won the mile at the Sparkassen Cup in Stuttgart, 2001.
Neither was injured. (How?)
Prah, perhaps not coincidentally, was charged with cocaine doping in 2008.

if this were football, Brooks would want the guy suspended…

If this were football, he would’ve seen her about 30 yards in front of him and still run right into her.

“perhaps not coincidentally”??? Where do you get off making that leap? Show some respect

was this her first time at a track meet or something? what a retard.

It happens all the time at Track meets. Usually the long jumper will see someone in front of him and stop. I doubt it was her first time at a track meet since she has won the world championships before.

How are you gonna show a video thats been going around the web for eight years, and update the video with an charge that happened 18 months ago.
You may want to also report the Michael phelps won eight gold medals and Mike Jordan Retired…oh wait..the seattle supersonics are thinking about leaving seattle, and the california Angels are now called the LA Angels.

If you see a person way ahead of you in your path, you would normally stop ? Right ? That dude looks like Wesley Snipes in that futuristic movie ?

So did she die? Left a drooling veg?
@Joe, dude had his head down - only came up at the very end. Long jumpers are getting their steps set up at the start of the run - they quite often have their heads down.
Funny how Brooks thinks the insults are compliments - guess he never heard the “we’re not laughing with you, we’re…” one.

Now they are going to propose that runners wear helmets while competing, just like the NFL refs.

Al Davis is already looking into signing this guy for next season for his defensive backfield..

This is just totally messed up, how can they both be looking the wrong way for such a long time. It seems like someone was trying to warn the woman, as she turns but keeps around.
