31 Hilarious Olympic Figure Skater Faces That Show Why Cameras Should Be Banned In Some Sports
Let me get this straight. Olympic figure skating athletes are incredibly talented, graceful, and dedicated human beings that have reached the very pinnacle of their sport.
Chances are if you followed anyone around at work and captured their facial expressions on freeze-frame, you’d come up with some pretty hilarious photos. Figure skaters at this level exert themselves to the highest possible degree, and that kind of effort, combined with the forces of gravity, is obviously going to put that cheesy smile for the judges to the ultimate test.
Here at Bored Panda, we have compiled a list of some of the best examples of funny faces that can only be met at an ice skating rink, which we hope that even the Olympic sports athletes themselves can admit are pretty hilarious. Scroll down to check the accidental portrait photography shots out for yourself, and vote for your favorites. What do you think about the internet having a giggle at these athletes in the middle of their strenuous routines, striving for gold? Let us know in the comments!

The the hell is in his mouth? Why does it look like he's got a red pin in his mouth? Was that added in later? Why am I seeing that?

I think he has a tongue ring. I was wondering that too. Looks like a piercing.

"Let me get this straight" means "do I understand this correctly," with the implication that you find whatever follows hard to believe. You are not using it correctly.

There must be tremendous centripetal (or is it centrifugal?) force on that face.

Ever heard of Dumbo? Apparently, every living thing must include their ears if it's decided to fly.

Lol this guy had so many photos and not all of them are due to being taken at the worst moment. His coach needs to help him out with performing using facial expressions, especially since skating rinks don't have mirrors like dance studios

If these gorgeous, amazing athletes make silly faces, I shudder to think what I would look like. Nope. Kudos to them for looking amazing, even with centrifugal force/tossing their bodies through the air.

I loved reading everybody's comments! The "explanations" were so funny!

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or feel sorry for them. Most of that looked like it hurt. Bad.
