How she completely misses the bar remains a mystery to me. But I’d say it’s time her coach gives her the same speech Lou Brown gave to Ricky Vaughn in Major League. Seein’ is the most important thing, hun’…
My guess is that this guy was neither a physics nor a geometry major. I’m also going to guess that this dude was not nearly high enough, in either sense of that term, to successfully achieve this move.
I thought the point of the gun going off in a track race was to signify that the race was underway. This guy thought the point of the gun was to wake you up while you’re sleeping in the blocks before the race starts.
Hey, this person sure doesn’t look like an Olympian or anything, although it at least looks like this clip is from some sort of competition. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest it might be important to be able to run without walking when attempting to heave a javelin. It may not be the best athletic endeavor for an individual who has the balance of Dick Bavetta while sprinting.
But that’s just one man’s opinion. And one man who’s failed miserably in his repeated attempts to break into the sporting world of the javelin toss. No I’m not bitter.
Well I always knew certain countries took their Olympic training way too seriously, which makes it all that much more enjoyable when they get smoked by the U.S. anyway (well, at least until you hear some terrible story about how the person was exiled from their country for losing).
Anyways, if you were ever curious as to how The Thorpedo became so dominant in Olympic swimming, here’s your answer. Check out how the Aussies train to race in the pool.
Some people might call this method just a little extreme, but I for certain would not be one of them.
Well, I can’t say I’ve ever been a part of a crew team, but I can say I’m confident I would be more productive than the girl bringing up the back of the boat in the foreground of this video. My gut feeling is that an important part of rowing a boat is staying out of the water.
Just kidding. I could never disrespect anyone who finds humor in any word involving the phonetic sound of ‘cocks’. Nor could I disrespect anyone who finds humor in a fart. In fact, here’s a classic fart clip to end this post, just because I feel like writing about farts now.
I’m going to guess this is not the way to make the X-Games. I understand everyone has to start somewhere, and I’ll give this guy kudos for even sort of attempting to do a grind, but something tells me Stefan Thomas didn’t start out like this. Somewhere there has to be a natural knack for this kind of activity, sort of like drawing. You can learn to a point, but that only gets you so far.
Let’s just send this guy back to the nice easy green circle trails please. For everyone on the slopes’ sake.
Maybe this guy should check out the tow-rope or t-bar hills first…
I’ve been skiing since I was 6 years old. I’ve had some bad accidents, some stupid falls, but I have never screwed up getting off of the ski lift so badly that I ended up heading back down the hill. Obviously, not everyone has been so lucky. Hopefully this guy doesn’t have any aspirations of being the next Alberto Tomba or Tommy Moe. I’d hate to see what he does when he tries to get off the Gondola.

Mom Can’t Get Off The Lift - This is even funnier than the video above; wait for Mom to yell “What am I doing wrong? I don’t get it!” as her sons tape it. Well mom, you might want to try standing, balancing, and gliding off the chair. I bet you’re doing those things wrong, which are a minor component to skiing off of a chair lift.
