“The gate to the groin for Yannick Bertrand and you could hear it. And if you’re a man, you could feel it…The boys took a beating on that one” #Olympics2022 #WinterOlympics #Olympics #OlympicGames

I’m finding the #WinterOlympics painful to watch

It isn’t just men’s genitalia getting pummelled, it’s women’s too

For matters of good taste, I’m not going to post the clip of the couple’s figure skating, but instead leave it to Robin Williams to explain

The #WinterOlympics can also lead to injury when viewers decide to give sports a go in their own homes

Inspired by the #Olympic figure skating, this kid ended up with a blister on the sole of his foot the size of a golf ball.

Not so cool runnings!

These kids set up a bobsleigh/luge run down their stairs

They were having great fun until this little guy cracked his coccyx

You snooze, you luge!😂😂😂

Years ago, they used to show Sumo wrestling on Channel 4

Inspired, me & my older brother shifted the furniture in the living room, stripped down to our underwear & gave it a go

It was going well until my brother executed a Tsuridashi leaving me with a wedgy from hell
