Warning: These Female Athlete Fails Are So Awful, You Can’t Look Away…

Out Of Breath

Women’s weightlifting has to be one of the most challenging sports in the Olympics and requires years of training, placement, lifting, dieting and much more than we even realize. Thailand’s weightlifting athlete Rattikan Gulnoi is out of breath in this aerial shot after competing in the London Olympics in 2012. We cannot even imagine how tired she would be – look at that bar!

That year, Gulnoi originally finished in fourth place, but after Ukraine’s Yuliya Kalina was disqualified for prohibited steroid use, Gulnoi was promoted and ended up earning the bronze medal. It seems that her look of exasperation was well-earned after all.

Make It Rain

Although field hockey is one of the lesser known sports in the world, it really tends to stand out in the Olympics with composite sticks, intense athletes and serious blocking like you see here.

In this picture, US player Rachel Dawson went head-to-head with New Zealand’s Anita Punt at the 2012 London Olympics as Rachel slipped on the wet astroturf. This should go without saying, but field hockey is not meant to be played on wet turf, or any wet surface for that matter. But these ladies powered through it, proving that women can work through whatever challenging conditions they may face when there is gold to be won.
