Subscribe
Every major sports event involves a lot of hard work by athletes - and when we are talking about the Olympic Games, it means even more hard work, dedication, and willpower. All the cameras are pointed at the competitors, and every minute is captured... including not very serious moments.
Athletes need all the concentration they can muster for their events - and, sometimes, they forget to control their facial expressions or moves. This means, of course, a lot of ridiculous photos from the Olympics - with the most hilarious displays of emotion you have ever seen.
