Beer Bottle Thrown @ Usain Bolt Before Olympic 100M Final

Never a dull moment at the Olympics today as a beer bottle was thrown form the stands at (or near) Usain Bolt before the start of the 100-meter final.  Details from yahoo Sports:

A beer bottle thrown from the stands landed near Usain Bolt in the moments before the 100-meter final Sunday night in London.

As Bolt and seven other competitors ducked into their starting crouches, a bottle sailed from the first row of the stands at Olympic Stadium.

It harmlessly bounced in the lane belonging to Yohan Blake and didn’t appear to cause a distraction to the runners, who started a split-second later. The thrower’s lack of distance was a blessing. Had he gathered tips from the competitors of the hammer throw competition, which was taking place in the infield at the same time as the 100 final, the bottle could have hit one of the competitors. It ended up landing a few feet from Blake (lane 5).
