50 most embarrassing moments in sports tv#

These shots can be charged up into huge warheads that slam-jam the ball-but hold your lone button too long, and your blast will instead become a square blocker that you can place anywhere.Īll the 2v2 matches I played were intense battles of attrition, played first-to-10-wins with anywhere between one and three balls on the court at a time. Colliding with the ball or enemy players will temporarily disable your sentient arrow, so the only way to make shots is to propel the ball with triangular projectiles (which will also stun your adversaries on contact). Yes, the most basic goal is to get a ball into the opponent's goal-but there's so, so much going on to make that happen.

The stark aesthetic recalls similar games like Sportsfriends' Hokra, with a playfield made up of nothing but simple shapes and solid colors. All I know is that I wish I had a build for the office, because this is the kind of just-one-more-round multiplayer experience that could easily consume hours.

Action Button Entertainment's Tim Rogers describes it as quite possibly 'the perfect sport' in one breath, then a 'party RTS' in the next. That kind of spartan design is part of what makes Videoball so striking, both to look at and to play. Crazy, right? Now strip away everything until all you're left with are the bare essentials: players, balls, and goals. After a foul and a redo, the Japanese track and field star would eventually clear the 5.3-meter bar, getting as high as 5.45 meters, but in the end, he just couldn’t get it up enough, finishing 21st overall.Imagine football, basketball, hockey, and soccer, all slammed into one. But Ogita didn’t just touch the bar during Tuesday’s qualifier round, he got to second base with it, knocking the bar down with his own, well, pole. To clarify: in pole vaulting, you are allowed to graze the bar with any body part (other than your hands). But give us a couple tries, and we’re pretty sure we’d be able to embarrass ourselves on the pole vault as badly as Japan’s Hiroki Ogita did earlier this week. One of the biggest draws of watching the Olympics is knowing us mere mortals could never come close to catching Usain Bolt in the hundred meters, or Penny Oleksiak in the pool. But if you’re looking for a silver lining, at least no one we know actually watches Olympic race walking.

The Rio water’s already bad enough.Įmbarrassment Level: No doubt, crapping your pants on live TV in front of the whole world is definitely embarrassing. But hey, at least it didn’t happen in the pool.

A heavy favourite heading into the race, Diniz tried to power through the gastrointestinal distress, before collapsing on the pavement and finishing a distant 11th.

Here’s what happened, in case you haven’t been following the thrilling sport of Olympic race walking: Diniz, the reigning world-record holder went into today’s 50k event only to quickly go from number one to… doing a number two all over the course. Supposedly Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympics, said “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning, but taking part.” We have a feeling Yohann Diniz of France might call bullshit on that one. We try to break down which deserves to win the Embarrassing Olympics Moment Gold below. And just like Lochte, both were captured on video. Turns out, there’s already been two moments that are way, way worse. See, if you thought the whole Ryan Lochte “robbery” scandal was the most embarrassing story to come out of the Rio Olympics so far, you’d be wrong.
