Exciting and Awkward Sports Images that Will Make You Really...

Ana Ivanovic is one of the most beautiful tennis players around. This picture is of the Australian Open, which she was
clearly too focused on. It is lucky for her that it was a regular tournament and not Wimbledon, where she might have got disqualified for her choice of outfit. We can see though, that she hardly pays any heed to that.

Athletes nowadays wear clothing that are optimized for high performance. There has been the odd time when some athlete wore something eye-catching and everyone looked up and noticed. Here is one such example of a female hurdler who wore pants which covered only her legs. Now we are not sure how that is improving her performance, but it is surely quite strange for the rest of us.

The early days of tennis had women dressing up quite a lot to play. Ever since the days of Billie Jean King and other contemporary female tennis players, that has changed. Female tennis players nowadays wear shorts or skirts while playing. With the variety of outfits that they wear, some wardrobe malfunctions does occur on the court. Venus Williams is one of the best examples of that. She wore tight undergarments close to her body colour. Every time her skirt lifted up during a shot, it was embarrassing for both her and all the people watching, making them wonder whether she actually had something under. Just when we heard that she fired her wardrobe manager, we found out that it was just her sister Serena playing a practical joke on her.



Beach Volleyball can get quite revealing at times, but it can be just as embarrassing if your clothes deny staying on you. The girl here could not keep her top up properly, though she got away pretty lucky, as this strange issue did not cause much problems for her in the ongoing tournament.


Winners can get quite enthusiastic at times, but one should always take care of their clothes first. That cannot be said for this swimmer. She got so overjoyed and lost in her celebration, that she totally ignored the fact that she had an enormous wedgie in her swimsuit.


Surfing is one of the most popular water sports and Stephanie Gilmore is a six-time champion of it. But freak accidents can happen even to the best of sports persons. She would have faced an unpleasant wardrobe malfunction, if she had not managed to take care of it before the cameramen could click a photo of her.
Body suits became the go to swimming costume around a decade ago. Ian Thorpe started the trend and other swimmers followed suit as they felt it to be quite attractive. The only issue it presented was that it could split at any moment. That is what this unfortunate swimmer had to find out the hard way. According to reports, he lost and we can hardly blame him after what happened.







Similar names of two sportspersons can surely confuse anyone. In here, the people getting this golden jersey ready would also hold true to that belief. In 2008 Mike Alstott was awarded a golden jersey and the jersey awarded to him was unfortunately flawed. It had on it not a printing mistake, but the name of a totally different player.



There is not much you can do while you are riding a horse. That is exactly what this jockey is pretty aware of. His pants got yanked down and all cameras were focused on him, but he waited for the horse to stop before he could restore his dignity. Quite embarrassing for the jockey, but another funny incident for us.
