Most Embarrassing Gym Moments!

[FlipTwistFly28]

I don't know if this has been posted on any other threads but oh well! I just wanted to know if any of you would have funny/embarrassing gym stories!

One of mine would probably have to be when I was stretching with my team at an open gym one night and we were all talking about how graceful some of the elite gymnasts were and how we wished we could be graceful like them too. We then got on the topic of how funny it is when we can do skills on beam and then get off and trip and fall on our face. (which has happened to me many times before) Then one of my friends decided we should go to bars, so I had to go and get my grip bag. I got up and ran over to where I had set them down and as I was running I totally forgot that I had to jump over the low beams. I then tripped right over the low beams and crashed into one of the high beams. My teammates started to laugh because of what we had just been talking about! The rest of the night people pretended to trip over the low beams everytime they went near them!

If I have anymore I'll remember to put them on here!

As a gymnast...well, it's crass but funny. One day we were all eating dinner together before a meet in Vegas, which we had to travel to. We all ordered a entree that came with a side of broccoli. When the food came out, there was a huge mountain of green that was all the broccoli, it was like 2 entree portions practically as a side. So we all dig into these mountains, and one of the parents suggests not eating it all because of gas and how early we had to be at the meet. We laughed it off, and the parent shrugged and made jokes about how she was glad she wasn't the one sharing a room with us, which we laughed at.

Well, parents do indeed know best. Who knew?! It was funny at the hotel, I swear there should have been a green cloud around us warning poor strangers away! Once we got to the meet though we were mortified and holding it in. I remember sitting through bars and beam that meet to this day, all of us broccoli eaters stomachs gurgling. My mom referred to it as the 'broccoli and gasX invitational' from then on lol.

I honestly don't know how I did this... BUT

I turned my head too quickly on my spin on floor and poked myself in the eye with my ponytail- which is surprisingly sharp . I was blind for about 10 seconds lol

Beam is my worst event. I can barely get my legs up for the jumps. So one day I thought I was alone in the gym so I decided to try and practice my jumps and figure out why I couldn't get my legs up. Well my friend was there with a video camara videotaping me! So after so long I started thinking about this girl I know who really bugs me so I started mimicking her beam routine complete with shrill voices and singing. Let's just say once I found it on YouTube it was quickly took down...

I was on bars doing a skill and my hand slipped. I hit my coach's knee{which he had just got surgery on a week before.} He was out for a little while. It was NOT funney but my gym friends were laughing anyway.

We were at an away meet, and as always, we had our four y.o. son in tow. It was a big gym and they had a small putting green set up for a raffle. For $5 you got three balls, and for every put made, you got a raffle ticket in the bin for the grand prize drawing....a small plastic set of golf clubs that you can buy at the big K for a few dollars.

I gave my son $5 and he ran off in excitement...only to return five minutes later asking for another $5. Twenty bucks later this diversion hadn't even gotten us to the national anthem Fearing that this would quickly jeopardize the family finances, I cut him off and sent him on his way empty handed.

At the awards ceremony they announced the winner of the raffle, and my son had won. He excitedly retrieved his prize to a huge round of applause....Afterwards, as I walked around the gymnasium, dozens of people I had never met before came up to congratulate us and all knew my son by name...... Apparently after he had cleaned out me, my wife and the team parents, he had started working the grandstands
