And there are more than a few crazy moments in women’s sports. Don’t believe it? Keep reading to discover the craziest photos of women’s sports ever captured!

Unhappy ref

When you compete, it’s all about trying to make the referees happy. But if these athletes could see what kind of faces this ref is making, they’d probably pack things up and go home!

Dual water spouts

We’re not sure if either of these athletes are short or stout. But in this wild photo, they are both showing us what powerful spouts they have.

A shocking development

Part of what makes sports, so fun is that it is so unpredictable. Every now and then, it’s unpredictable for the athletes as well. If you have any doubt, just check out the shocked face he is giving to his skating partner!

No dodging the cameras

Fame is one of those things that seems good on paper…right up until you are constantly being hounded by paparazzi. At this point, it looks like this athlete would be happy to never see another camera again.

They don’t get much stronger than this

Not every sport requires cultivating a muscled body, but this one certainly does. And judging by the awesome shape these ladies are in, one thing is for sure: you don’t want to mess with them!

Is that Spider-Woman?

Normally, you have to go to the movie theater to see superhuman abilities like people sticking to walls. However, this super-fit athlete looks like she could definitely give Spider-Man a run for his money.

That’s a real drag

At its core, competitive sports is all about one set of athletes trying to overcome another set of athletes. Sometimes, though, the going gets rough. Especially when they grab your leg and won’t let go.

Warming up or cooling down?

Every athlete has their own warmup procedure, and it’s not our place to judge. However, this combination of ice and athletic shorts looks like it would be very, very uncomfortable.

Should have checked the Weather Channel

On the subject of not quite dressing for the current temperature, this athlete looks like she borrowed Lara Croft’s fit to go climb a snowy mountain. These gals have us asking: are we the only ones reaching for a hoodie as soon as the temperature cools down outside?

She’s going for it

We really are passionate about sports photography because the camera can capture all of the moments from any given performance. For example, volleyball has never looked quite as exciting as in this photo of a player dramatically reaching outward toward the ball.

You could say they’re swingers

While it’s fun to watch your favorite teams and games, there is also something sublime about scanning the channels at night and finding something strange to watch. For example, this is either a really strange competition or these two have been reading X-Men comics and are now practicing their “fastball special.”

Coming and going

Ever hear the old phrase “I didn’t know if I was coming or going?” Well, it’s never been so true as it is with this image of an athlete apparently going in two different directions at once.

A matching set

Pretty much the only thing cooler than seeing one athlete demonstrate perfect moves is seeing two athletes pulling them off together. And images like this help to remind us of how much passionate training goes into mastering these skills.

And one for the road?

Athletes often have strange rituals when it comes to motivating their teammates. For example, this athlete has decided a firm smack to the rump provides the exact encouragement her teammate has been looking for.

Mugging for the camera

We don’t always associate theater kids and athletes, but let’s be honest: there is a fair amount of theatricality when it comes to sports. In fact, just check out these gals mugging for the camera ahead of the main event!

That’s gotta be a foul

Sometimes, we’re pretty sure “foul” is just short for “foul behavior.” For example, this flagrant example of hair pulling looks painful, awkward, and…well…foul!

Fluid motion

Sometimes, it seems like athletes have been taking those pills from Limitless. Honestly, if they let us pull off sweet moves like this, we’d be stacking our own medicine cabinets.

Getting down and dirty

Sports isn’t about just about smiling and posing for the camera. Sometimes, it’s about getting down and dirty…something these girls know all about!

A different kind of “drums”

We’re not sure if the band’s budget has been cut or if everybody’s just having a bit of fun. However, we’re pretty sure these drummers have never had so much fun while playing!

Striking a balance

It’s important to be able to trust your teammates. But few teams have a bond quite this intense!
