20 FUNNIEST MOMENTS IN ATHLETICS

2:55 I believe the rule in High Jumping is that where the bar falls off late it is a "no jump" if you are still on the mat whereas if you have left the mat and then it falls off it is a successful clearance, i.e. thought to be wind etc. not the jumper causing it to do that.

The hurdler who refused to let one epic fail ruin his chance, and so continued to fail his entire way to the end literally spit my sides.

6:48 is proof that cameramen are always the fastest 🤣

[mshalls]

8:14 best ever. eff them hurdles bro! PS. no one should pole vault ever - too dangerous. lolz

[jkappianaq]

Pole jump @ 1:36, the pole says you're not going to jump over the bar, I'll throw back where you came from! lol

[PlayWithANKUR]

It is always pleasant to be surrounded by such fine gentlemen witnessing the greatness of this fantastic sport.

8:14 This dude will always be the GOAT. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

None of them were „funny“ - just mishaps (some painful) of people who tried.

[StneCldGaming]

"FUNNIiEST"? No, "Painfull moments in Athletics". I could feel them hurt.

The poor girl whose shoe flew off - boy that takes me back!
That exact same thing happened to me in a school hurdling event when I was about 13; I wasn't doing badly because I was tall, long-legged and fast, but my immediate reaction to the realisation that my trainer had flown off, educated me forevermore about my status in the competitive world of sports: I staggered to a halt, stared wildly about looking for my shoe, mortified that I had lost an expensive sports trainer, specially bought by my parents for PT, and terrified of my parents' reaction to my clumsy stupidity. I spotted it so many yards back along the track and, despite the desperate wails of classmates, I loped back to retrieve my dignity, stuffed my foot back into the still-laced trainer, and hobbled in last.
In short, despite being built for speed, I had no competitive spirit whatsoever, and was far too scared of my parents to ever embrace that determined drive that would allow me to abandon other priorities and actually do what was necessary to win a school hurdles race!
Or any other...

How dreams die.

The craziest moments in women's sports are better than any plot twist in a movie!

[lisanancollas]

Never, ever walk in front of a runner at the end of a race, unless you want to be knocked over.

[streetcop]

The guy who tripped and face planted on the long jump…….still went further than I ever have….

[bitemeThEre]

I wouldn’t describe these as funny but interesting to watch for sure.

[TheKgv]

Brillo...laughed myself sideways:-) ..that guy in Madrid after the race celebrating sliding straight down into the gutter was priceless ( 8:06) and the 110 hurdles staright after. Spectacular stuff :-) :-) :-)

[monettenucum]

I loved how fast the camera man run just to cover the 100m, he can be a sprinter too😊

[savagesooner]

4:37 is best one! Dude was like, “I’m running this thing, I don’t care if it was false start! I’m running it! Lol 😂

[rock]

6:02 is dangerous. God can only save this guy😂
