The Australian man, who attempted to disrupt the men’s 100m final race at the Paris Olympics, will have to pay over Ksh1 million in fines for the incident.
An Australian man, who disrupted the men’s 100m race at the Paris 2024 Olympics, has been handed a hefty fine while receiving a three-year ban from the Stade de France.
Shortly before the 100m race, which was won by American Noah Lyles began, the man, who was wearing a T-shirt reading “Free Palestine,” “Free Ukraine,” and “Jesus,” jumped onto the track from the stands as the athletes were in the starting blocks.
He was intercepted immediately by security personnel as he attempted to reach the 100m straight to try and prevent the race from going on.
