Court Romance


Steam mates create life long bond, and players can get to know one another on a very personal level. It appears these two Lakers players are particularly close, maybe a little too close. Was this an accident?

Outfit Blunder


We’re not sure who designed these cyclist’s costumes but they should look into finding an alternative line of work. At a quick glance, it looks as if these ladies are nude. The crotch-padding also doesn’t do them any favors. Sorry, ladies.

Bummed Out


The guy on the stretcher not only would have been in immense pain, but then also had to endure his head right up the volunteers behind. A double whammy there. Let’t hope he didn’t let one rip.

Face Fail


Shot put is a dangerous sport and one that requires some serious skill. Hurling a heavy ball long distances is no easy task. But from the looks of it, there is no need to tell this guy. Just look at that face. Not exactly a picture perfect moment. We hope the ball swung the other way and not in his face.

Head over Skates


We’ve got to give it to this figure skater, she has some seriously impressive upper-body strength. However,  it seems this trick didn’t exactly go according to plan. This might have ended with a trip to the emergency room. Perhaps it should have been him doing the lift. Just a thought.

Up Close and Personal


There’s a lot going on in this scene. Not only are these wrestlers engaged in what appears to be a heated game of Twister but the referee seems to not want to miss out on all the fun. At least the ref takes his job seriously. Are you having fun in there?

The Upper Hand


This might appear to be a four-armed ping pong-playing mythical creature but in fact, this hilarious image is just the product of a particularly well-timed snap. Perhaps this is a national sport on some alien planet?

Enjoying The View


It is hard not to get distracted by the toned bodies at a beach volleyball match, but the president just could not help himself. It appears that George Bush had a great time enjoying the view rather than keeping his eyes on the scoreboard.

Cheer Fear


College and high school sports are all about the pretty cheerleaders rooting on the sidelines. You might think it’s all about the outfits and the pom poms but cheerleading actually requires some serious physical skills. We’re not sure if these ladies are straining from the exertion or they’re not impressed with the view…

Every now and then, a sports event is interrupted by a crazy streaker across the field. It always makes for a fun show for the audience.  This stole the limelight during a soccer match in Zurich.

Too Far

Undies Out


When you win a game, there is nothing like having a little on-field victory. Some perform backflips amidst the crowd’s cheers while some boys have a more unconventional way of expressing their elation. We think that this particular celebration would have probably been more appropriate for the locker room.

Wrestling is one of the most contact sports there is.

We can’t say that it tickled his pickle though.
