Female Athlete Fails

Athletes are supposed to be well-trained and agile in their respective sports. But, like with anyone else, they are human, and sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. Though this may hinder them from winning, these failures are too epic to ignore. Here are some of the most epic fails made by female athletes from all over the globe!

When athletes are out in the field, the last thing they think about is how their outfits look like. Miho Takagi is a professional speed skater who always looks awesome when ice skating. But, in this case, she should have double-checked her outfit for this race. Her getup was a bit more transparent than she had planned for and so, her underwear was visible. She could only hope that the spectators were more engaged with her performance than spotting the flaw in her outfit.

Stress and exhaustion are two things that many athletes have to contend with on their big days. Genesis Rodriguez was only 20 years old when she had worked her way into the Pan Am Games in Ontario. She successfully lifted almost 234 pounds before dropping the barbell behind her and falling unconscious to the floor. At least the weight was dropped before she fainted, otherwise, this would have ended tragically.

All sports require some degree of coordination, but in some, that is what the game is all about. Volleyball is one of these, and if you lose your balance for a brief moment, you might end up with a volleyball hitting you hard in the face. This volleyball player is a perfect example of such an accident. It looks like it is going to be pretty painful, right? Not only did she get hit by the ball, but her mouth was full of sand too!

Landing on a hard surface like ice is definitely going to leave a mark. This Russian skater seemed to have had a bad day. Maya Khromykh felt the pressure, and you know this because this was not her only fall. After several falls, the young woman was not going to get her medal. On top of that, we are sure her ego got a little bruised, just like her backside.
