Informative Essay On Sports Injuries

Yeah! Welcome back to total Pro Sports. We could make a list hundreds of entries long that show the most graphic videos of injuries on the field. It would be pretty awful honestly, so while this list takes inventory of in-game sports injuries it doesn’t feature the terrible Paul George type things that make you walk around dog pale for the next four hours, rather these are the iconic sports injuries more akin to battle scars. They’re cool, not disturbing, at least I think so, your mileage may vary. So here are a few of the worst injuries that athletes have played through. We kept the MMA and boxing stuff off this list because those can get really graphic and we’re more looking for the kinds of injuries that produce iconic images, and now, the nine most iconic sports injuries of all time.

However, Kerri Strug has sustained an ankle injury and was literally limping to the runway. So landing upright wasn’t a foregone conclusion. Spoiler alert from 96 she stuck the landing, the U.S. got the gold and Karri got a Wheaties box, you can do it Kerri!
