• 110m champion struggled to make final after taking wrong bus
• Local volunteer stepped in to pay for taxi to Olympic Stadium

Jamaican hurdler Hansle Parchment has tracked down and thanked a Tokyo 2020 volunteer who paid for his taxi to the Olympic Stadium, where he subsequently won a gold medal.

Parchment told the story in a video posted to social media last weekend, which ended with him meeting the volunteer, whom he called Tiana. He thanked her, showed her the gold medal, gave her a Jamaican Olympic shirt and paid her back the money she had lent.

At the Olympics, Jamaican hurdler @ParchmentHansle accidentally showed up to the wrong venue for his race.

A young woman gave him taxi money to get to the right stadium.

He won gold.

Then, he tracked down the woman to say thank you.
