These pictures were taken at just the right moment (or just the wrong moment, depending on which way you look at it)
Athletes are some of the most admired people on earth. From their posters decorating a child’s bedroom, to older people wanting to take a picture with them: they are often seen as idols. This is, of course, because they often show us the amazing things the human body is capable of. Sometimes they even seem to go further than what should be humanly possible.
Today, we’ll show you that while we often seem to think they are, athletes aren’t perfect. We’ve collected some of the funniest sports bloopers to have ever happened. We’re so glad people were able to capture these moments on camera, because they had us rolling on the floor laughing! Our personal favorite is #23. Which one do you think is the absolute funniest blooper of them all?
We hope you enjoy these as much as we did.
“Hey there, gorgeous!”
This wakeboarder was on his way to break a world record, when he suddenly realized he wasn’t alone. The water below him acted like a mirror, showing a very handsome young man.
As you can see, he didn’t hesitate to get closer to his mirror image. It reminds us a bit of the famous painting of Narcissus, falling in love with himself. Anyway, it makes for a funny picture!
Ballhead
This hilarious photograph shows a gymnast who seems to have a ball for a head. Of course, this is only an optical illusion: her head is hidden behind the ball.
But on first glance, it looks quite eery! It’s a hilarious photograph that was taken just at the right time by the keen-eyed photographer at the scene.
