T-72 Rolls Over And Lands On Its Back At Tank Olympics

The first ever International Army Games are taking place in Russia and they've not gone well for one Kuwaiti tank driver.
 
Taking part in a biathlon event, the driver took a corner too quickly and ended up rolling over.
 
Luckily, the crew inside suffered only minor injuries and the T-72 tank was undamaged.
 
The tank biathlon is the biggest event in the games, with 13 countries competing. 
 
The Olympic-style competition is seeing 2,000 soldiers from 17 nations in disciplines from naval games on the Caspian Sea to military cooking.
