Picture Of The Day: Anyone Up For A Game Of Twister?
Here is an image of a sprinter sustaining what we suspect would be the most painful track-and-field injury ever. I am not even sure how one would end up in such a precarious position. I guess when your body can’t quite keep up with your legs, these kinds of things happen. I wonder how long [...]
