My evenings this week have been filled with Olympic fever. From swimming to gymnastics I am glued to the TV to watch the worlds best athletes compete for the Gold in Beijing, China. Competition can be fierce. These Olympians are the best in the world at their event, the talent level is raw and mesmerizing. However, even though they are the greatest athletes in the world, there is danger in any sport. I compiled the top 10 ways to get hurt while competing in the Olympics.

#10 - Jumping On A Springboard With Too Much Spring

#9 - Holding On To The Pole Too Long During Your Vault

#8 - Failing to Complete A Steeplechase Hurdle

#7 - Not Paying Attention To The Shot Putter

#6 - Jumping On A Springboard With No Bounce

#5 - Not Watching The Javelin Thrower

#4 - Hammer Throw During The Rain

#3 - Crashing Your Bicycle Ahead Of 50 Other Racers

#2 - Missing The 4 Inch Balance Beam

#1 - Getting In The Way Of The Chinese Government And Their Olympic Quest
