Sapolai Yao represented Papua New Guinea in the steeplechase event at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. Since he’s 4′10″, the hurdles were a bit much for him. So Yao used a potted plant nearby as a step stool to climb up on top of one hurdle, and then jump down. He was disqualified as a consequence:
Towards the end of the grueling race, the diminutive runner couldn’t quite muster the energy to get over the water jump.
Ao the resourceful Yao did what any other vertically-challenged individual would – using his surroundings to help him out.
Spotting the pots below the hurdle, Yao gave himself a leg up onto the beam, stopped for a quick breather, and then leapt over into the water.
