Video: Epic Fail at Olympics

[eits]

she trained for most of her life for this moment...

i wonder if she won the world record for fastest women's alpine run at a winter olympics

i laughed so damn hard... i must have rewatched it on my dvr at least five times...

 

[CRXican]

sooo pathetic ROFL

 

[coldmeat]

I loled when I saw it happen, but I felt bad.

on the one hand, it's funny as hell to watch an olympic-level skiier just fall over.

on the other hand, I feel really bad for laughing at her, she's gonna remember this for the rest of her life. that SUCKS.

 

[TallBill]

Hahahaha, sucks

There's nothing pathetic about being an Olympic athlete. What's pathetic is judging her based on a single mistake.

i felt bad for the swede girl who completely plastered herself all across the home stretch of the track... she would have won bronze if she hadn't lost control.

i laughed at a couple of the spills though... the girl who face planted into the ice and the swiss girl who went sliding along the outside of the track and then caught air while on her back. pretty amusing... but, yeah, i felt bad for all of them who fell and couldn't at least complete the race.

it hurt more when jacobellis didn't make it past the first big turn on her boardercross final run.

To add insult to injury (literally), she injured her knee and had to be helped off course...

That will haunt her.

please... she had to have faked it in order to save face.

"oh yeah, i tore an acl while i was skiing... that's why i fell over... oooh owwww.... owwww"

 

[sandorski]

damn, that is hilarious, but tragic too.

 

[0roo0roo]

man.....i could do that!

 

[Pocatello]

man.....i could do that!

That happened to me skiing for the first time. As soon as I got off the lift, I fell over.

Some people just don't belong in the Olympics, man. It's not just about physical form, it's about not choking during the Big Moment.. Remember Alicia Sacramone? Single Handedly destroyed the female all-around team's chances in the woman's gymnastics competition in Beijing. She was physically perfectly capable, she just choked. Same with this chick.

Watching this footage it's incredibly obvious she was pushing off WAY too hard because she was all nerves, and just lost her balance. You can whine and moan all you want about how we're making fun of her based off one mistake, but you generally only GET one chance in the Olympics. That's kind of the point.

This. Very much this.

 

[Newbian]

This. Very much this.

So you want them to have do-overs?

 

[Nik]

So you want them to have do-overs?

No, why would I want that? It's stupid and very distasteful to be laughing at her for it.

 

[Miramonti]

I'd be on suicide watch.

 

[slayer202]

you laugh that she trained most of her life for this and thats what happened?

thats like saying I laugh at the people who spend their lives on quack shit like chiropractics

 

[pyonir]

Saw that earlier. That sucks for her, but I laughed.

 

[BillGates]

She's lucky she isn't from China, or she'd probably get executed when she got back. Women are amazing athletes!

 

[SSSnail]

I'm gonna sign up for the Olympics too. Heck, I'll fall on my ass for free airfares and hotels and booze and stuffs. Hmm, to think of it, I did...

 

[Fingolfin269]

That sucks. I feel bad for her. Never like seeing something of that magnitude happen to anyone who trains as hard as these people do.

 

[sdifox]

I loled, then felt sorry for her. No amount of internet lol can compared to how shitty she feels now.

 

[yllus]

Jeez, at least wipe out on a jump. That's just embarrassing.
