In the video, he falls, looks up at his leg which is clearly facing the wrong direction, and does a literal "facepalm". No screaming in agony, just a facepalm. It's the oddest (toughest?) reaction

I think he immediately went into shock.

And, to add insult to injury, the paramedics dropped his gurney while loading him into the ambulance.

Man, Gabby Douglas missed out on all-around because each country can only send 2 gymnasts to the competition. Gabby Douglas finished 3rd overall in qualifying.

Michael Wilbon just lost his hard-on.

Wow. Dutch woman just wiped the F out in cycling down a hill. Waiting for update, but it did not look good. Twisted body and not moving.

They said she had a concussion and several 'minor fractures in the spine.' I'm like, wtf is a 'minor' spine fracture???

One that doesn't cause paralysis probably.

I actually googled it and was sincere in the TIL. Wonder what stanky face girl from the 2012 olympic brought home. I know she was popular at the time.

I always thought the obsession with Micheal Phelps' Mom was disingenuous, but honestly the guy is barely functional so she's probably a full time caretaker so maybe it's warranted.

Mmm...McKayla Maroney. Apparently she retired due to health issues and is now "pursuing a career in music"

She's trying to pursue a career in being a professional hot person. Which I mean, actually seems to have fairly decent career odds in this day and age.

Handball is great

Also probably hoping she doesn't break any bones, or her neck, which almost happened to that Great Britain gymnast.

Tough sell for short girls.

She is actually about average height for American women.

So...short by famous-for-being-hot standards then.

Maybe she towers over Dominique Moceanu. Not sure if that is impressive or not.

McKayla Maroney is nice and all, but she's no Alicia Sacramone.
