He Comes In Peace

We wonder if Olympic swimmers are aware of the thousands of photographs which are taken of them at the oddest times. This swimmer looks like an alien taking a break from his UFO to do some laps. Got any insights about this photo? We'll leave it to your imagination and your online photography classes to top that snapshot.

Fingers For Lunch

We guess some athletes get caught up in the frenzy of the game and don't care if they invade each other's personal spaces. This guy is either a "hangry" zombie or his opponent just wanted to grab him by the mouth. From the looks of it, these athletes are very lucky that they have a doctor always on standby.

Michelle & Her Balls

Former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, appears like she has a thing for smacking some balls to keep her fitness intact. This picture showing the former first lady playing tennis can give a lot of people a good laugh. We think the best thing to say for now is—caption this, and don't pull any punches either.

Talk To The Foot

We're not certain if this was a photo from a football game or a scene from The Karate Kid. Only the strong and the brave can partake in this sport because athletes really get down and dirty. It looks painful for the guy on the left, but let's hope his helmet saved him from a stay in the hospital.

Limbo Rock

We can just hope and wish that this is an image of a guy playing Limbo Rock. He seemed like he had one of the worst days of his life because accidents in Track and Field can be so painful. Hopefully, he had a good health insurance that will help him pay for the treatments if ever he obtained any serious injuries.

Circus Freak

At first glance, you might think someone has a foot for a head. Well, look again. Gymnasts deserve so much credit for being able to make their body parts reach places that are normally unreachable. We wonder how many back crunches are included in her workout for her to be that flexible.

Bullseye

If you were the guy in the photo, we're sure you'd never want to show the picture to your kids or grandkids. Getting hit by a ball directly on your eye is both painful and embarrassing. He must have gone to the nearest hospital to see a doctor after this mishap.

Do It For The Gram

This one if the Instagram. It's obvious that things didn't go as planned and he was just seconds away from having a face to face session with the floor. Let's hope this biking accident of his would make him learn how to be more careful. Is there such a thing as a biker's insurance? Because he should have one.

The Time Of Her Life

Ho-ho-ho. It looks like Santa's wife came out to play this Christmas. We wonder if she willingly agreed to this move or was just peer-pressured into it. Hopefully, she didn't end up in any serious accident and just enjoyed the whole ride. Thank God she had stockings under her skirt because those kids watching wouldn't want to see a wardrobe malfunction.

Last-Minute Breakdancing

Riding animals can sometimes be fulfilling but it can also get out of hand. This girl probably didn't expect anything to happen when she first decided to participate in this event. She looks as if she was about to hit a breakdancing pose. Her mom should have her health insurance ready before any of this had happened.

Diving In

Diving into the water from your beach house or yacht is always a good idea, but we don't think diving into the water from a hurdle isn't the best of ideas. This man was probably thinking of what was for dinner because he wasn't able to fully focus on the obstacle in front of him. It's funny, but it's still an accident. Ouch!

Talk To The Lacrosse Stick

It appears that women don't really mind getting down and dirty while playing sports (though we wouldn't recommend this as your daily exercise). This girl wasn't thinking that she could probably send her opponent straight to the hospital. At least she made her kiss something that she truly loves.

The Winning Duckface

Admit it - once, you probably took a selfie while making a "duckface." This guy's fitness level must be really high for him to be involved in such a powerful sport. You can just see in his face how intensely he has got his head in the game. Definitely, this is an "Instagram-worthy" duckface shot.

Emoji Party

Synchronized swimming is a very artistic and yet difficult sport, and those who excel in it deserve all the credit that they get. Just look at these girls - all are synchronized up to their facial expression. They look like your group of friends who see you talking to a boy who is totally not good for you.

Smile For The Selfie

Animal photography can get rather complicated at times because not all creatures will be tamed enough to pose for the camera. Lucky for these guys, this camel that they went up to probably had something good for lunch so he was in a good enough mood to smile for the camera with them.

Collision Equates Success?

Would you believe it when we say that a collision with a player led to the stupendously successful Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Kellerman? However, the look of complete shock and surprise has a completely different story to tell.

It is actually pretty awkward come to think of it and that bump also had her soaring the popularity charts. It was a game against the Miami Dolphins where Jason Witten veered off the pitch and had a collision with Kellerman. The only good point is that they got out of it unscathed, without any injuries.

However, that awkward photo will remain for posterity; the only saving grace of Melissa's career was none the worse for it, ditto with Jason Witten. They just need to shield their face every time they see the photo or maybe have a good laugh over it.

When Intense Got Funny

Professional Olympic divers do not bother about how they look or the expression on their faces when they dive; the only thing that plays on their mind is how to win that medal!  Their minds at that time are screaming go for the gold! We are sure the Chinese athlete Qin Kai echoes similar thoughts, at least his expression says as much.

A competitive sportsperson gives his/her everything when they play. They play with such intensity that sometimes their expression comes across as funny. Like in the case of Qin Kai.

We think even he will have a good laugh over this perfectly captured picture. But that drop looks pretty intense, we completely understand the sportsperson psyche and how they want to give their everything in order to win the highest medal.

Swim Like a Mermaid

Is that a human mermaid? No, it is just a cleverly-timed image! One look at that will make you think that the woman in the picture has an unnaturally extended body; a closer look will however reveal the true picture. That was actually another swimmer who is right behind the other swimmer. The makeup actually makes the swimmer look more like a mermaid than ever.

Synchronized swimmers are amazing performers; their skills will keep you riveted to their antics as they move in and out of the water, much like a mermaid would do.

So, if you are squinting your eyes, to find out whether you have just spotted a mythical creature, you need to relax! Because they are no one but skilled swimmers doing their best at what they do.

Smiling Stunning Girls!

The Texas Christian University has onboard some gorgeous girls in their cheerleading team. These stunning girls are aligning perfectly like a flag of blonde brunette and blonde. Also, their enthusiasm seems infectious. They look happy as they pose and preen for the camera.

They look all coordinated thanks to their matching outfits, right from their matching outfits, to tattoos to pom poms. They look so alike that they almost look like sisters.

Such sisterly bonhomie spreads good cheer. We are sure players get all the encouragement they need from the cheerleaders and their performances reach the next level. We love how the blonde and the brunette beauties are coming together to uplift the flagging morale of a team. If the team's performance starts dipping, they have the cheerleaders to encourage them and pick up their performance.

Excited And Happy For The First Game

The cheerleaders in this photo look excited and how. And doesn't it look like a fun activity? But the girl in the center looks overly excited, maybe because it was her first performance on the team.

Her expression read as one of shocked surprise, almost as if she didn't believe that she would be part of the team. Those early butterflies in the stomach can actually help some people perform better.

Who knows with time, she can turn out to be one of the best cheerleaders on the team, thanks to her excitement levels and her eagerness to perform the best in the team.  It makes for a fun photo though! The girls with her are putting up an invigorating performance too!

Ah-mazing Split!

We get it all cheerleaders are intrinsically flexible. But then not everyone can boast of a similar level of flexibility as the girl in the picture. She is splitting in the air, almost flying in the air. She is almost showing everyone, ' look folks I can fly.'

Also, one must appreciate the photographer in this regard. He has clicked at just the right moment before she lands back right on the ground. Kayla Wheatley is known all around the world for her cheerleading skills; she is also one of the most flexible ones in her team. Being a three-time national champion is no mean feat.

She deserves every bit of the praise that comes her way even more! Well, her popularity will be preserved for posterity, thanks to her exceptional skills.

Caught on Camera!

Lebron James has been one of the most popular basketballers of all time. No wonder he is photographed all the time, the cons of being a big shot celebrity. But, look at him, in this photograph, he is seen digging gold in this photo and caught in the act by the camera. While this photo screams candid with a capital C, James must be livid looking at it later.

Poor him, he didn't even get to do it in peace. Well, we bet it's going to have any impact on the number of fans he has. Nose digger or not, nobody can take away the sheer talent this man possesses.

Once an NBA champion, always an NBA champion, even if he is caught on camera doing something as embarrassing as nose digging!

Stand on Head or Water!

Standing on your head doing a headstand is something else, performing it on the surface of the water is another thing.  These are tricks of the camera that never fails to amaze us. That's right she is not actually doing the headstand on water, she was taking a dive when the photographer clicked the photo.

Isn't that amazing? Both the photographer and the swimmer deserve equal praise for clicking the photo at the opportune moment.

The swimmer's hard work is evident from her sinewy frame and her athlete's posture. Swimmers have to train for hours to attain a certain level of physical fitness and also pay particular attention to the diet so that they remain fit and flexible in the years to come.

Celebrity Cheerleaders

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have been known for their superlative performances and gorgeous looks. They were so famous that they had an entirely new reality TV series showcasing their skills in 2006. They went through the entire process of auditioning until they were able to form a squad.

Their amazing performance earned them celebrity status. However, things are not as easy as they seem, after reaching a certain position in their career, they cannot afford to falter.

In fact, they have to work doubly hard to maintain their top position. The same could be said of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, they continued to woe the audience with their scintillating acts. Their agility, pleasing personalities, and gorgeous costumes are certainly worth the praise.

For The Love of America

While all cheerleaders wear a certain type of uniform for their performance in the cheerleading squad, sometimes the squad members like to surprise their spectators. In one such instance, the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders did just that catching the spectators with their surprise act. They chose to perform in their Halloween costumes.

Pam, one of the members of the cheerleading squad, was the surprise package as she wore the colors of the American flag, such as the red, white, and blue striped Wheres Waldo costume.

The change of costume added that zing thing to their performances. Their change of costume was also much talked about. Of course, their performance remained as good, it's just the costumed added a different dimension to the performance.

Ouch! It Hurts!

Spotting an NFL player from a distance is easy all thanks to their customers. They wear all kinds of costumes and protective gear. However much protective gear they wear, sometimes they can hardly protect themselves from a correctly aimed fast-moving ball.

You may have your shoulder pads, helmets, and knee pads on but what about the body parts that remain unprotected?

This player had it really bad and had to pay the price for not having enough protection on his groin area. Of course, this sport comes with its own share of risks and that is why they are paid an insane amount of money. It is a sort of insurance for the dangerous bends ahead. The photographer captures the scared expression of the player immaculately.

Fly High and Higher Still

There are cheerleaders who aren't just great cheerleaders but are great players as well. Yes, we so often go by face value and forget the fact that they are capable of so much more than what they portray.

Much like the cheerleader here, who apart from showing her flexibility skills as a cheerleader can do a pretty neat slam dunk herself. Haters may criticize her form and say it isn't copybook style as a professional player, but who cares as long as she is having fun and the spectators too consider it pretty cool.

Also, in most cases, it is the attitude that matters and she has that all right! Also, one wonders whether professional players can be as flexible as her?

The Stunt Lands Wrong

What happens when a stunt goes all wrong? A look at this photo will give a perfect example of a stunt gone all wrong! Going by the look of the man's face the ill-timing of the stunt landed both of them in soup. Maybe he was supposed to catch the cheerleader as she flips.

The perfectly synchronized picture shows what can go wrong and gives us a sneak peek of a disaster looming large. We are hoping that the girl doesn't hurt herself with that awkward dip.

The man's face also shows a bit of a shock! Did he get hurt too? Ah, the things that a picture can reveal! It just goes to say no game is hundred percent safe, one has to be doubly careful to avoid freak accidents.

Unveiling The Magic of Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman was truly a world-class player and it was a treat to watch him on the court, unveiling his magic.  A case in point, in this photo, Dennis while playing for the Chicago Bulls makes for a dive to catch a loose ball. Kudos to the photographer to catch him right in the act.

It is almost as if he is flying to catch the ball. He was so invested in the catch that he certainly didn't think of the consequences of the landing. He is one player who always listens to his instincts, if his brain says jump, he is not going to reason with it and stop from jumping.

He is widely famous for his defensive technique on the court for which he earned the name, The Worm. We are sure, eventually, he caught the ball.

The Weight Of It

That's not a pretty picture for sure, with the man contorting his facial muscles in various ways. He may have underestimated the cheerleader's weight or overestimated his own strength.

Well, now that he has her on his broad shoulders, he has to complete the task, come what may. It won't augur well if he decides to give up midway. He is also aware that every pair of eyes in the stadium are on him so he can't dislodge his burden, not by any yardstick.

However, light or heavy the guy must be ready to take the weight of any cheerleader. Well, he is supposed to do all the heavy lifting and can't bungle and mismanage in the middle of the task.

Tom Goofy Brady!

While most of us are big fans of the NFL and the players, we are more used to watching their intense side on the court, seldom do we see their goofy side. A player as popular as Tom Brady is a hot favorite of everyone, and it's pretty refreshing to see his goofy side.  Tom led his team New England Patriots to many scintillating wins at the super bowl championships.

This was a game where he played against the Pittsburgh Steelers and he managed to steer his team to a big win! After that high-octane match, Brady must have felt relaxed and happy, thus he showed his goofy side to the crowd.

Or maybe he is waving to his wife Gisele Bundchen, who is sitting in the stand cheering him on! Whatever may be the reason, we love his goofy side!

Happiness After a Big Win

These Oregon cheerleaders are a picture of bonhomie. Their pretty smiles and their infectious energy make for a great photo-op. These girls are always in the best of moods; especially when their team is on the winning side.

Many rankings have placed the cheerleaders in the top slot as the hottest-looking cheerleading squad. The girls are really gorgeous. Add to that their bright and colorful outfits they can give any other cheerleading team a run for their skills.

Cheerleading isn't an easy job, they have to boost the morale of the players, even when the team is losing, they have to keep their smiles on! So, let's appreciate their efforts and encourage these girls so that they do even better!

The Screaming Match

If there was ever a screaming contest, we are sure this team would have won, hands down. There are some cheerleaders who are actually cheerful and there are some who can beat anyone with their cheerfulness and their enthusiasm.

One look at them would mean we surely want them in our team! They are extremely happy because the team they are representing has won. We don't blame them, if their team has won, they should be happy and express themselves too!

Their eyes do a stellar job of expressing their happiness. Again the photographer should be applauded for clicking them at the right moment. Here's to many more such wins and the cheerleaders expressing their happiness and joy like no tomorrow.

Saved By The Hand

We're not sure if the guy in the picture needed to go to the hospital after this, but he saved the little boy from what could have been a freak accident. He must have had superhero-like reflexes to actually get his arm in front of the kid before the baseball bat did some heavy damage. A personal injury lawyer among the crowd must have held his breath.

Man In The Mirror

It's inspiring for people who went to photography schools to see unique images, like this one, for example. We wonder if the guy really did this for the camera or was just doing his own thing. Hopefully, he got up properly and didn't just fall into the water after this photo was taken.

Weightlifting 'Cousin Itt'

Weightlifting is a very challenging sport that we bet is a good form of exercise, too. Just check out this girl who was candidly shot when she was just about to lift her barbell. Because of all that hair and sweat on her face, doesn't she remind you of the character Cousin Itt from the Adams Family?

The 'Risks' of Cheerleading

While cheerleading seems all fun and game till you realize it isn't! Things can change drastically from the rehearsals to the actual event. A case in point is this awkward photo, when the man in the picture is at the receiving end, from a misstep. The man has a tough time balancing her and his expression shows as much.

However, the man is trying his best to help the woman and cover up the faux pas. Also, he must be worried that a fall can also lead to injury. However, the contorted expression says a lot of things and he will have a good laugh or two later when he catches up with this hilarious photo.

So, whoever says cheerleading is easy, they don't know half of it!

Awkward Much?

Cheerleading besides boasting of some scintillating moments, what with flips and the smooth landings also boasts of several awkward moments. Something that picture suggests, is when these girls look up and what they see leave their mouths open.  They look particularly horrified and we would want to know exactly what makes them feel the way they are feeling, on second thoughts though we'd rather not know.

Here's hoping, it is just a rehearsal and not the real event; because this may lead to many awkward photos and would be the butt of jokes of the others watching the girls.

If it is a rehearsal and not a real event; it is a clear lesson on when not to lookup?

The Young & The Brave

We're sure at one point in your life, you dreamt of winning a race. This little girl seems like she has some dreams to catch because she fearlessly ran in front of a bike race. Her parents should have a personal injury lawyer on-call next time she does things like this. It's not mean feat to outrun bicycles though; probably a talent she can use to fill up her bank account later on.

What Goes Around, Comes Around

We often think some of the things we use in sports are all tried out and tested but somehow, the universe still begs to differ. It's either this guy's baseball bat wasn't sturdy enough, or whoever threw the ball had superhuman strength. Let's hope his face wasn't damaged by the bat for he might need to get plastic surgery to restore his rugged good looks.

Sucker Punched

High-intensity sports like Mixed Martial Arts can make people have the weirdest facial expressions when photographed at the right time. To show you what we mean, see this shot taken just right when the other girl made sure her opponent's face would be smashed by her punch. Notice that their hairstyle is matching, too!

Right In The Bum

We actually feel sorry for the guy in this photo because it sure looks like it hurt—a lot. He probably regrets getting himself into this brutal sport and wishes he was just at home watching some Netflix. After the ambulance brought him out of his misery, how many days do you think he was stuck in a wheelchair to recover from the piercing in the butt by the bull's horn?

David & Goliath

NBA has brought a lot of players big amounts of money. Most of these names that we cheer for in every game are all 6 footers who have model girlfriends and luxury cars. Size isn't always the basis of one's ability to excel in a given sports. Never let anyone tell you that you can't do a certain thing just because you're not like the others. Be proud, be unique.

Intensely Chinky

A lot of Asians dominate the game of Table Tennis. These players are so fast with their hands and reflexes that it makes you wonder what workout they do to achieve such skills. We don't think these players ever expect to look calm and pretty for these kinds of games can get very intense.

Casually Falling

People often have the weirdest of expressions during an accident. But this girl mastered the art of falling because she looks picture-perfect even if she was about to faceplant to the ground. Maybe she should start thinking of auditioning for a modeling show like America's Next Top Model.

The Baseball Matrix

Baseball, like a lot of other sports, is an excellent subject for photographers to practice flash photography. There's just something about capturing athletes at the height of their game. Just look at this guy - he almost looks like someone off the movie The Matrix. Hopefully, he stayed in that position and the ball just went over him.

The Hand-apult

Some of you may wonder if this guy had a doctor check his arm after this because something might be wrong. But don't worry, the athlete in this photo is 100% fine. He just possesses great flexibility and strength plus—he's probably double jointed. We're sure this guy has a bright career ahead of him.

Zombie Apocalypse

This player probably had his eye on the prize and didn't bother paying attention to the army of zombie-like fans behind him. Let's just hope he did take home the prize because an accident from being swarmed by his fans is the last thing he would want to happen.

Allergic To Balls

At first glance, you might focus solely on the guy who seems like he's imagining his worst enemy's face on the ball. But if you look closely, there is a guy that looks as if he just sneezed mid-game or actually just got hit pretty badly on the nose. Hopefully, a doctor came to his rescue right away.

Head To Toe

This guy on the left probably watched a lot of Dragonball or Shaolin Soccer because his facial expression shows how much he's in the game to win.  Meanwhile, the guy on the right deserves credit for showing some Kung-Fu skills he must have been hiding for a long time already.

Nose To Nose

This man was probably in great pain just seconds after this photo was taken. We're not sure where his hands were, but what we do know is that he is supposed to catch the ball. We hope he had the money for plastic surgery because fixing his nose won't come cheap.

Goodbye Million Dollar Smile

Even if this is one of those photography shots that may look cool, the player in orange probably lost his front teeth just moments after this shot was taken (and before he went to the dentist). Soccer is another sport that can really get tough and dirty, so it's safe to assume that all athletes invest in an excellent health insurance or life insurance.

Piggy-back Ride

People always come up with new things or sports that sometimes would just make you wonder what really goes on in their heads. Just look at this guy who thought of joining a pig rodeo. Judging by the cameraman behind him, he probably made some money partaking in this.

Duckface Is Life

Yes, this was the guy from the previous photo that you just saw, but we just can't help but bring him back because of his winning duckface. The whole world of shot put should give this guy credit for looking effortlessly funny while keeping the intensity of the game.

You May Kiss The Ball

This girl should probably head to the doctor and get her eyes checked because it appears that she's not sure of where the ball is. We guess she hoped for it to land on her arm but the ball just wanted to come face to face with her. Thankfully, the balls in Volleyball aren't hard enough because her face could have been severely damaged and seen by a cosmetic surgeon.

Face Of A Champion

Nadal fans might have mixed feelings about this photo. Here, the tennis champ was captured making the most awful of faces, though fans might dismiss it and still think him cute. He can make all the faces he wants because with an estimated net worth of $31.5 million, looking neat and handsome would be the least of his concerns.

Oh No, He Didn't!

As much as this guy's fans are loving the first-hand experience they are getting with their favorite player, this professional basketball player seems like he was caught off-guard and was probably out for some vengeance on whoever pushed him. He should thank these guys for saving him from what could have been an even worse kind of accident.

You Snooze, You Lose

It seems like the player in the photo has his mind elsewhere. This shot was right on time when the ball collided with the player's face. It must have hurt like crazy and we hope that the player was able to see a doctor right away and seek the necessary treatment. Brain injury must be covered by the team's insurance, right?

Water Bucket Hat

A lot of people love doing water photography - like taking a picture of someone flipping the hair out of the water or just splashing around with friends. This photo is so on point because it was taken just when this swimmer was about to catch his breath. It also seems like he's wearing a bucket hat fashioned from water.

It's A-Rod Magic

Alex A-Rod Rodriguez is a big name in the world of baseball and who has earned a ton of money in his bank account over the years. He has a superstar status, and this photo just shows how cool he is. Look at him toss the baseball in mid-air while looking like a true superstar that he is.
