Again With The Hurdles
Sports can offer happiness, shame, victory, and defeat… but most of all, they can bring failure! In this post, we’ve seen some pretty horrific spills, but this has to be the most harrowing of them all. Whether it’s the camera position that portrays the tremendous pain that girl is in, or the actual fall itself, we have a lot of sympathy for this serious failure. The only thing we can hope for is that the runner in question is able to recover gracefully and without incident. Hopefully, she was able to complete the race and finish in the top three, as opposed to the prior runner who was defeated by those pesky hurdles and finished last.

This photograph shows American player Rachel Dawson going head to head with New Zealander Anita Punt during the 2012 London Olympics when Rachel slipped on the damp astroturf. However, these ladies persevered, demonstrating that when there is gold on the line, women can work through any difficult circumstances they may encounter.
