Don’t Lose Your Head
Gymnasts compete in rhythmic gymnastics, which is a unique sport in which they use props such as hoops, balls, ribbons, and other items to improve their performance. Their routines, which are set to music, blend gymnastics with dance. Gymnasts’ routines may incorporate leaping, contortion, and perfectly timed dancing maneuvers, among other elements. A ball is a common prop used by rhythmic gymnasts, such as this Bulgarian gymnast, Silviya Miteva, who is shown here with one. Miteva’s adaptability, combined with the photographic talents of this photographer, gives the impression that her head has been replaced with a silver ball.

Stretched to the Limit
Professional football is a physically demanding sport, and it can be as demanding on your clothing. It’s difficult for professional football players to maintain their uniforms looking their best when they’re surrounded by grass and perspiration stains. This athlete, Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah, had the limitations of his shirt tested during a game when an opponent grabbed hold of his shirt while he was rushing. We’re sure the garment was discarded after the game, but the extraordinary stretchiness of the fabric is something to be commended.
