Last Saturday at the Cycling World Cup saw Malaysian cyclist Azizulhasni Awang win a Bronze Medal, despite being involved in a minor pile up just 50m from the finish line.
This guy wasn't going to let the fact that he had a 20cm (7.87 inches) splinter stop him from finishing the race and he got back on his bike to finish third and claim his medal.
Here's a picture of his leg just after he collapsed over the finish line (don't worry no blood). You must login or register to view this content.
Here's a video of the incident. You can't really make out the splinter in the video but you can see him (the guy in white) get back on his bike at the 8 second mark.
Surgery was successful and he's expected to be back in action within four weeks :y: Decent recovery time considering there's a hole going right through his leg...
