Sports Photos That Could Not Have Been Better Timed

Unexpected

Sledding is not for the feint of heart, clearly. It’s possible that the lady in this photo was truly unaware of how exciting sledding can be. There’s no questioning her lack of preparation, although, what a great photo the situation makes! Whatever snowy country this picture was taken in, it is clear that even its leaders are skilled extreme sledders. This mature lady seems like she's about to start delivering Santa's presents early, and without the help of flying reindeer.

Almost Flying

Diving catches are nothing unusual in baseball. However, this particular diving catch makes it seem as though the player is practically flying through the air with extreme grace. This Venezuelan baseball player makes the catch look rather simple as he holds his whole weight on just one hand. He could be close to flying or doing a very impressive push-up using only one hand. Either way, the moment captured in this photo suggests the player may also be a skilled gymnast.
