Alexander Porter fell spectacularly off his bike while qualifying for the men's team pursuit at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday. The Australians were just over a km into their 4000m ride when Porter, riding at the rear of their four-rider formation, had his shock equipment failure.  lucky he didn't crash into the others..

yes.. a similar mishap for the Indian shooter Manu Bhaker, a strong medal contender..

"The cocking lever of Bhaker's pistol broke after the 16th shot in the qualifications and in getting it fixed, the 19-year-old shooter lost more than 15 minutes, which affected her rhythm when she resumed shooting. At that point, she had another 44 shots left to take in the next 55 minutes. But the forced break due to the repair work meant she'd have to complete the qualification round in 36 minutes."
