Historic Track & Field Fails

[TrainerPhil]

I was inspired by the discussion of the "Jamaican relay blunder" in the first round in the Edmonton WC to go ahead and post links to videos showing some epic failures in track & field. Enjoy:

I'm sure there are a ton more. Please add whatever you can find. We need something to do until the 15th.

The comments on these things are appalling. What is the matter with these people?

Youtube comment sections - much like certain parts of this forum of late - are where common sense, decency, and rational thought go to die.

It's youtube, what did you expect? Skip the comments and just watch the vids....

Anyone have any more of these kind of vids they could post? It's good viewing
to get in the mood for WCh watching.
