Sports is about grit, determination, strength, success, perseverance and a lot of humor it seems! Usually, sporting events get so much media attention, that if something goes wrong, you can be assured that someone will catch it on film, video or click a photo on their smartphone.

Here, we present to you some of the best-timed photos in modern sports, usually taken at the must inopportune moments and the photographer ended up capturing some of the most hilarious (sometimes cringeworthy!) moments in sporting history!

Buckle up and get ready to laugh along!

Too close for comfort

We get all sorts of goosebumps just looking at this photo! The figure skater is so close to the ice, with the flakes covering her face that if her partner didn’t pick her up in time, then she would have been severely hurt. If you have ever skated on ice before, then you know that falling on it seems to hurt even more than just falling on regular ground! But it’s all about practice, technique and having complete trust on your partner which will make you win!
