20+ Hilarious Moments Athletes Were Caught on Camera

Sports athletes are, generally speaking, pretty good at what they do. After all, performance is how they make their living. Of course, they are still human, and no matter how good one may be, all humans fail. On the other hand, there are some incidents that are just bad luck and can't be avoided regardless of how hard someone tries. Thankfully for us internet denizens, such moments are often caught on camera, and we can now laugh at them in relatively good humor: that’s what we’ll be doing here!

Speaking of a hilarious image taken at the worst time possible during some aquatic athletics, we have this one right here. We're assuming this was taken right before they dived into the water or something, which is why they are making those faces. Gasping in that air, we assume? The freaky poses are also something that must be the result of catching the athletes in motion. Stop to see every individual pose a human makes as they move around, and you'd be surprised how many weird things you end up seeing.

Lots of strange things go down in wrestling. However, we're not sure how a situation like this would come about. Was this actually an accident? Was this intentional, for some completely insane reason? Both options sound crazy to us. Regardless, you can find humor in the situation as well as confusion. Whatever these athletes are up to, intentional or not, deserves some raised eyebrows at the least.

There are few things that make you look as silly as holding a sign the wrong way. Everyone sees it, everyone sees you being oblivious to the fact that you are holding it wrong, and ultimately, you just look really silly. In fact, we would say the oblivious nature of a person in such pictures is the most embarrassing part of all. So naive, so innocent: not even realizing that everyone is giggling at them, or just being clueless as to why everyone is laughing.

Gymnasts and acrobats may be equal to figure skaters in regards to gracefulness while performing, but just like all other athletes, they mess up too. They may make it look easy, but rarely is it actually as simple as it appears! Even the best gymnasts fall off the balance beam from time to time, it's just that only a few of them manage to hang on after they fall off, and that looks pretty funny to laymen like us.
