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!

That’s going to hurt tomorrow

Field hockey is a mean old sport. It about speed, precision, using the grass to your advantage and getting to the ball and controlling it before the other team gets their hands on it. When the latter is the main objective, obviously, you need to be quick on your feet to get to it. However, while swinging the hockey stick, one must be very careful to avoid hitting someone and also avoid being hit by others when they swing! This poor girl learnt her lesson the hard way.
