Bahamian sprinter Anthonique Strachan was good-natured after getting quite a scare from the event's mascot, Youhuu, moments after her 200-metres semi-final at the World Athletics Championships.
Strachan had just sat down on a couch in the "q room" - where non-automatic qualifiers can wait to see if they have advanced - on Thursday when Youhuu, a native Hungarian racka sheep known for its huge, spiral horns, poked its head out from behind the sofa.
The 30-year-old leapt from her seat in fright in a humorous moment captured on the live broadcast.
Strachan and the mascot shared a hug after the prank. And she did clinch a spot in Friday night's final.
It was not the only odd event during Thursday night's competition in Budapest. A golf cart carrying athletes to the 200-metres semi-final collided with another, postponing the start of the race by 30 minutes.
