Jamaican Hansler Pachemont, who won the 110m hurdles at the Tokyo Olympics, said on social media that before competing in the 110m hurdles final on August 5, he took the wrong shuttle bus in the Olympic Village, walked to the aquatic center, and almost missed his own race, but thanks to a kind volunteer who lent him money, he took a taxi to the Olympic Stadium.

Pachemont said that at the aquatic center, he originally wanted to rush to the stadium through the official taxi provided by the Olympic Games, but because he was refused to take the car because he did not book in advance, he had no choice but to ask volunteers to help. After borrowing money to get a taxi to the race, he quickly adjusted to warm up and won the gold medal in the final with a season best of 13.04 seconds.

Pachemont said he managed to find the volunteer named Trijana after the game, returned her money, thanked her in person and gave her a Jamaican team uniform.
