Parallel
Dennis Rodman may be scrutinized with questionable behavior ever since he left the NBA. However, he remains an incredibly talented basketball player, which is clearly proved by this photograph.
Dennis is seen diving for the ball and somehow managing to achieve a perfectly parallel pose as the photo was snapped in 1997. This amazing photo explains the determination it takes to be a successful athlete. You need to put your body on the line multiple times at every game – that is what being a professional player requires.
Something Is Missing
Athletes are incredibly focused before and during competitions, which makes it somewhat understandable that they could potentially forget things. However, forgetting a shoe while you are preparing for Olympic hurdles could be detrimental.
This Ethiopian hurdler may have misplaced one of her shoes, yet this unfortunate fact does not seem to be holding her back in the slightest. Considering that she went on to qualify for the final race in the Olympics, maybe shoes are not all that important.
