An Olympic athlete had a fashion mishap during a competition but handled it like a real champion.
Long jumper Blessing Okagbare was competing in Oslo, Norway, this week when she took a leap into viral fame.
When the Olympic medalist landed, her wig fell off her head, a moment captured by TV cameras.
If Okagbare was embarrassed by the situation, she didn’t show it. Instead of wigging out, she waited for her mark to be measured ― 6.21 meters ― then grabbed the wig and put it back on her head.
Okagbare later posted a clip of the incident on Instagram. “Oh well, it is what it is then ... heads up,” she captioned the video, in part.
