While many athletes aim for perfection, no one is ever able to achieve it, and we have all experienced our fair share of humiliating moments on the field. Accidents are inescapable for athletes, no matter how hard they work to improve their skills. However, when they are caught on camera, the situation becomes even worse! Here are some of the most epic blunders in sports history involving female athletes.

Uh Oh, Miho

Even though Miho Takagi, a professional speed skater, appears to be calm and composed in this photograph, there is a lot more to her than meets the eye. When it comes to sports, players’ mentality is sometimes at odds with their attire and the way they appear, especially when it comes to something as fast as speed skating. However, in this particular instance, Miho should have taken another look at her outfit that day… can you guess why? Hopefully, observers were preoccupied with her flawless performance and didn’t notice her wardrobe mishap!

Too Much Weight

Genesis Gomez Rodriguez, a 20-year-old from Ontario, Canada, let the 106kg weight get the better of her after she competed and fainted while holding the weight above her head during the Pan Am Games in Toronto. She dragged the weight above her head for a few seconds before dropping it behind her and tumbling to the ground shortly after. It is possible that she might have suffered a major injury if the weight had not fallen behind her. We are grateful that Genesis recovered quickly, but she gave the entire world panic when she had this terrifying, dramatic, and potentially fatal occurrence. After regaining his strength, Genesis was able to lift the 109kg weight successfully and was awarded the silver medal.
