The second fastest sprinter in history couldn't hide his shock at being beaten by a little-known Australian runner at the Tokyo Olympics.
Rohan Browning is Australia's new star of the track after the run of his life to win his 100m heat, leaving 2021 Jamaican world champion Yohan Blake trailing in his wake.
The 23-year-old Sydney law student clocked a personal-best 10.01 seconds to move to second on the Australian all-time list and the equal fifth fastest time going into Sunday night's semi-finals.
One of the hot favourites to win gold in Tokyo, Blake looked astonished to have beaten by the Australian he didn't see coming in lane one.
The 2012 Olympic silver medalist took a quick glance across at Browning as his opponent crossed the finish line ahead of him.
Seconds later, a stunned Blake was filmed by television cameras grimacing and shrugging his shoulders following the surprise defeat.

'Yohan Blake has looked across and you know what he's thought, 'Who is that in lane one? I've been beaten by an Australian'! Yes, you have Yohan Blake,' former Olympian Tamsyn Manou said in Channel 7 coverage.
Co-commentator Bruce McAvaney was just as excited. 'Boy oh boy. We've got one! We've found one,' he said.
Browning was out of the blocks quickly and never looked like being beaten.
The only Australian to have clocked a faster legal time was Patrick Johnson, who ran 9.93 back in 2003.
The humble Australian used his 15 seconds in the spotlight to issue a passionate plea for millions of viewers holed up in lockdown back home.
'Hopefully I've put a few people on notice now,' Browning told reporters post-race.
'It feels good. If I can take one thing away from it, it's that Australia, don't go out on anti-vax protests, stay home and get around the underdogs at the Olympics.'

Blake, 31, finished second behind fellow countryman Usain Bolt in the 100 and 200m double in 2012 in London and failed to make the podium in either event four years later in Rio.
