According to the BBC, the cameraman was to film the three-step exercise that took place next door.
– It’s hopeless. We see someone who operates a camera who has not been to conventions very often and struggles a bit to keep up with what is happening. It has happened on several occasions, but this could potentially be dramatic, said expert commentator Vebjørn Rodal during the NRK broadcast.
Fortunately, things went well with the runners, who spread out on either side of the slightly overzealous man with a camera.
– I was a little worried that he would move one way or the other, but fortunately he did not understand where we were until everyone had passed, says home hope Evan Jager to New York Times.
It did not go as well then Usain Bolt was hit by a cameraman on a segway under VM i Beijing i 2015.

The photographer during the night’s race in Eugene stood with his back to the field, and the TV pictures showed that one of the athletes tried to clap to get the photographer away.
– Fortunately, it does not affect anything in the race, so we just have to be happy about it. The person in question has probably been told not to do it again. It is an organizer mistake, but a mistake that has no consequences for the result, Rodal commented.
Moroccan Soufiane El Bakkali secured the World Cup gold in the distance, while Lamecha Girma (Ethiopia) and Conseslus Kipruto (Kenya) secured the all-African podium at the practice.
– He must have understood that we came, and the best thing to do in such a situation is not to move, says Mehdi Belhadj about the situation, according to French The Parisian. The Frenchman came in 13th place.
It is the first time since 2005 that a non-Kenyan wins the distance in the World Cup.
