Epic Athlete Fails

As a person who enjoys participating in sports but who is nowhere near the level that professional athletes reach on a daily basis, it sure is nice to see them stumble on occasion. UK Medals has put together a nice compilation of some of the best fails athletes have ever done. Because sometimes we just need to remember: even if they're freak athletes, they're human, too. And humans make mistakes. Usually hilarious ones.

This Table Tennis Rally Is Absolutely Ridiculous

Who'd have thought that table tennis, or ping pong as it's often colloquially called, could be so entertaining to watch? At the Commonwealth Games, Nigeria's Segun Toriola pulled the Hot Cup of Joey technique (aka "the backboard," or just defending a lot of shots) against Singapore's Ning Gao during the event in Glasgow.

It's amazing. 41 shots in all, and a lot of them are insane returns off heavy smashes. Well done all around.
