CANNONBALL!
As we previously stated, there is no such thing as a graceful landing when long jumping. When Alexandra Yevstyunina makes this impact on the screen, it appears that she is more or less performing a cannonball dive into a swimming pool rather than doing anything else. Because the sand is not water, it is possible that the landing will be uncomfortable for some. At the CSKA Sports Complex, the 30th Russian Winter track and field tournament was being held at the time of this photo being snapped.

Fighting For The Ball
These two female basketball players are willing to put their bodies on the line in order to capture the offensive rebound. It’s possible that they may have benefitted from a bit more spatial awareness. Perhaps one of them would have come down with the ball instead of experiencing this bone-crunching incident. Taking part in this encounter were the Butler Bulldogs and the DePaul Blue Demons. If this is any indication of how things went after the contest, a large number of ice packs were utilized following the game.
