Picture Perfect: Priceless Sports Photos Captured At The Perfect Time
Inspiration For Bodybuilders
So remember how we went on and n about male cheerleaders and how they need to stay fit and hit the gym? Well, scratch that, everyone should just do whatever this cheerleader on the right is doing because it’s undoubtedly bringing results.
It’s impressive but not strange, after all, cheerleading is a sport, and the cheerleaders are as good as athletes because they train and build up strength for the routines they perform. We certainly aren’t going to annoy this cheerleader, so we don’t get thrown across the room for the opening act.
What You See Is What You Get
No cheerleading role is easy. You may have run from being a flyer because you’re worried about how dangerous it could be, but trust us, you don’t want to be these back spotters right now. We can’t imagine what they saw with the looks of horror and shock on their faces.
It doesn’t help a cheerleader to be distracted when performing routines because some routines are pretty dangerous, and one small slip could be fatal. You can see how focused everyone is except the two, who can’t seem to control it.
A Dangerous Chance At Fame
American football is a pretty aggressive sport, and it explains why the players are clad in a lot of protective gear. But do you know who doesn’t get to be covered in helmets and shoulder pads? This cheerleader here. Hopefully, she realizes she’s on the floor and could be hurt.
The tackle from the footballer could easily have landed her in a wheelchair, but instead, it looks like she’s in utter disbelief that she had this rare opportunity to be tackled by a famous football star. We’re sure she cant wait to tell her friends about her fame!
A Tale of Two Beaches and a Hijab
Women’s Beach volleyball is a hot girl summer sport, so to speak, and we know where your focus probably is in this picture! You must be wondering what’s really going on here, but there’s nothing strange about it. Hijabs are totally hot girl beach outfits, as the Olympian Doaa Elghobashy has proven.
But we also know you’re dying to get a scoop on the hot ladies behind her, so we’ll just let you in on a little secret—we have no idea what they were talking about! At least Elghobashy wasn’t as distracted by them.
The Jazz Fingers Say Hi
When cheerleaders splay their fingers with their palms to the audience, those fingers are referred to as spirit fingers or jazz fingers. And if you remember a particular scene in “Bring It On,” you’ll know those spirit fingers are gold!
Cheerleaders are perhaps the happiest people in a game. Their entire purpose is to bring in the cheer, so how can they not be happy? From the smiles on the faces of these cheerleaders from the University of Oregon, you can see that they know exactly what being a cheerleader entails. And it’s also why they have such a vast number of followers on Instagram.
Does Something Stink?
Cheerleaders are always excited when performing their routines. Their facial expressions are very important not only to the audience but to themselves as well. Credible studies show how smiling can lift your mood, and that same smile on a face as a cheerleader can dictate how the audience perceives your routines.
This cheerleader seems enthusiastic in her routine, and it looks like she’s putting some energy into it. Although her face has balled up in a way that makes you wonder if something stinks, we’re sure she’s just putting her back into swinging her hands for this move.
The No. 1 Dunk of Picture Season
Someone get Anthony Edwards off the No. 1 dunk position of the 2021 season so far and get this woman instead! And give the professional photographer some props because if we had pictures as exciting as this, we would be on the cover of some magazines.
Although, we’d like to see her try this in a real game because we know that’s surely not how you’d jump to dunk on the court, especially when you have opponents trying to get the ball away from you or block you out of a basket.
The Three Musketeers
Cheerleaders are probably one of the most stereotypical groups you can come across. It’s exactly like what you see in the movies, they are usually the most popular girls, and they always seem way out of anyone’s league.
It seems like groups like this always need to have at least three people to be complete and create a strong presence. It’s easier to dismiss two people, but three are more eyecatching. Cheerleaders don’t need any extra help getting people’s attention. With skills like that, one could scout them alongside the football players but for agency and advertising careers instead.
Bringing The Energy
Clearly, no one is more excited to participate in this routine than the girl in the middle. It’s a little too obvious that she may have made just made the team for the first time. Imagine her joy in being part of the cool girls. She’s bringing her A-game and living it up; indeed, grace and poise can come later.
Cheerleaders are considered the most popular girls, and almost every girl wants to be on the team. It’s an honor to be considered cool enough to take part in these routines, but some girls opt-out thinking they’re not the right fit for such elitist performances.
Cowgirl Splits
What’s better than seeing regular splits done by regular cowgirl cheerleaders? Seeing the famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders do impressive splits mid-air, of course! Known for being one of the prettiest cheerleader teams, they are also quite remarkable in their performances, as you can see.
This picture shows a lot of harmonies not just in their form and performance but also in their appearance, all the way to their flowing hair. It’s no wonder they constantly wow the crowds and even have their reality show “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.” They have earned their fame!
We’ve Found Waldo
You can’t put these young, vibrant cheerleaders in a box, and that also means they won’t be confined to the regular cheerleading uniforms. As you can see, these cheerleaders took on different costumes while enjoying their performances and giving everyone a worthwhile show. It’s this adventurous spirit that makes cheerleading truly fun.
This happened in 2013, where the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders carried out a full-on costumed performance for Halloween. The cheerleader in front particularly stood out with her Where’s Waldo costume and was the major highlight of the day for most people watching.
Not Your Regular Anatomy
You can’t believe what the human body is capable of, and we get to see that a lot in sports like figure skating. It’s certainly not a sport for regular people because most people cannot twist their bodies like this. We don’t know whether to be amazed or worried!
It’s still such an incredible talent that these people have, and although we may have seen splits and twists from gymnasts, it’s on an entirely different level when it is done on ice. This girl was spinning at a speed that made her hair and tassels spin sideways, and she did it on one foot!
R.I.P. Cheerleader
It may look like this cheerleader was freshly laid to rest in a coffin, which would mean she should be dead, right? But as you can see, she’s doing perfectly fine, and no, it’s not a miracle. She’s actually in the overhead bin of a plane which makes it even more confusing because the last time we checked, there aren’t any airlines that allow such.
The cheerleaders are most likely on a private plane, explaining why they have this much freedom to play. But it still makes you wonder that if she could fit into that place, then you could hide someone in there too.

If You Can’t Beat Em, Lick Em
We know you’re probably as creeped out by the events displayed in this picture as Yao Ming clearly was by the look on his face. But here’s some insight. Ming was a popular basketball player who made notable impacts in the NBA world, and his opponents usually had a tough time with him on the court.
It may not have been on purpose, but the licking of Ming’s underarm by this opponent really looks like the last resort to stop him from making the basket since all else had failed. Ming still took the shot, but his opponent may have succeeded because that must have been very distracting.
Stunt Gone Wrong
Were not sure what the plan here was, but it seems to have completely flopped. It appears to be that they were in the middle of a stunt, and he needed to have thrown her farther up so she wouldn’t land in this position that has caused him intense pain. It’s obvious he tried to jump back to avoid getting hit, but it was too late.
Fitness is important when you plan to do the heavy lifting in your stunts. Thankfully, it appears to be a training session from the looks of it, and this flop wasn’t in a real game. Unfortunately, the pain is the same in both situations.
The Aquaman Challenge
Here’s how you can explain this away to your kids quite easily. Just tell them worrying about appearances isn’t what makes an Olympic champion; after all, you’re the adult here and the one who made it to the Olympics. No one knows better than you about diving, and that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly!
Surely diving can’t be easy, and even those who do it professionally must have gone through tedious routines to perfect it. Imagine putting in all that work only to get this photograph as a souvenir? Hopefully, there’s a gold medal making up for this.
What’s The Difference Between Football and Martial Arts?
Apparently, there may be no difference whatsoever. At least that’s if we consider that this player with martial arts skills is Antonio Brown, a famous receiver for the Tamper Bay Buccaneers, and he must surely know a lot about how football is played.
Although this picture is from his time with Pittsburgh Steelers, his days of flying kicks are not so far behind him. It’s no wonder that footballers suffer more concussions than many other sportspeople. We surely don’t wish to be the number 5 player on the other team right now!
The Not So Little Mermaid
It’s official; mermaids are real. This genius photographer may have just proved the legends to be true. It takes us back to those mermaid movies, especially the part where the mermaid magically gets legs in place of her tail. Then with the makeup and swimsuit, everything seems to add up.
But snap out of it! This photographer certainly deserves an award, but nothing strange is happening here. What you see is a picture of two swimmers, one who’s just come up out of the water and another who just dived in. Classic synchronized swimming; sorry to burst your bubble.
