A US sprinter has landed a modeling job after accidentally flashing viewers during a race last month.

During a 400m hurdles event at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in Czechia, 24-year-old runner Chris Robinson suffered a rather awkward wardrobe malfunction.

While running, Robinson couldn’t seem to keep himself together as his genitals became exposed for all to see.

He made repeated attempts to try and cover himself, but unfortunately struggled to make the necessary adjustments.

However, persevering paid off as Robinson managed to complete the race, finishing in first position, and even almost securing a personal best time.

At the end of the race, Robinson knocked over the final hurdle before rolling into a somersault over the finish line.

He finished with a time of 48.05, which was pretty impressive considering the distractions.

Despite it being far from ideal at the time, turns out the wardrobe malfunction could have been beneficial to Robinson, after underwear brand Shinesty apparently approached the hurdler.

According to TMZ, the brand has contacted Robinson to see if he will model their Magnum Pouch Ball Hammock, which has a front pocket 47 percent larger than the average pants.

Apparently, another brand, Krakatoa, has also registered an interest in the athlete, with the CEO Alex Bortoluzzi telling the outlet: "We have a special pouch in front, to keep things separated, and not slapping around."

UNILAD has reached out to Shinesty for comment.

After Robinson's race last month, one commentator reflected on the malfunction, telling the crowds: “Congratulations to Chris Robinson for battling a problem that does emerge occasionally, various parts of their equipment failure can make it very awkward.

“But that was a stunning effort to be out in front, very nearly a personal best with those adjustments going on.

“Constant man handling going on with the left hand, but boy he just stayed in front, dipping at the line and getting home in the lead.”

Meanwhile, World Athletics commentator Tim Hutchings added: “That's a brilliant run by the American to be constantly adjusting certain parts of his equipment and possibly his anatomy down the home straight there around that top bend.

"He hit that ninth hurdle hard. He was having an equipment failure there. I think that is probably the politest way to put it. There hasn't been time to censor them."

As much of the race was live, many outlets were unable to censor the footage of Robinson, with the commentators apologising for the nude scenes.
