Have you ever noticed the number of selfies it takes for you to get the perfect image of your face? Then, you probably know that oftentimes, instantaneous photos are not the greatest ones of yourself or your friends. Nevertheless, a well-timed snapshot does not necessarily mean that it will capture a perfect smile or the greatest instant of all times. Yet, in the world of sports, there are two types of perfect shots: the first depicts the greatest achievements of athletes after all that preparation and workout and the other – all the hilarious split seconds, with facial expressions you will never forget! Just scroll down and enjoy – don’t miss the last one!

This catch should have a special name!

During many very important baseball games, especially in the World Series, we have witnessed great catches, yet, we think that nothing compares to this one! We are pretty sure that this catcher must give his name to this awesome move since not only was he able to catch the ball but also keep it safe while upside down – and with such grace! Talking about self-sacrifice, fitness, and extraordinary reflexes! Is this baseball or rhythmic gymnastics?

A pile of bodies

Yes, it is known, football is not the soft kind of sport and its players are tough and follow a good workout schedule to remain so. However, this does not mean that they are indifferent when it comes to getting injured. The injuries they might suffer from tough tackles, grabs or pile-ups like this one are very much dangerous! In this photo, we see –although difficult at first – Antwaan Randle El with his head almost twisted around his neck among a pile of bodies. Ouch, ouch!

He practices surfing when not racing!

You might think that motorcycle racing is fairly easy – not many rules to follow, a pretty straightforward sport. It does not even seem like a sport that demands exercising or following a certain diet. Nevertheless, motorcycle racing might include more than just riding your bike around a speedway. Just imagine how this fall might have gone if the rider’s reflexes were not spot-on! At first glance, it might look like he is surfing, however, falling from a speeding motorcycle is definitely dangerous.
