Sporting Woe
In which we ask a bunch of pasty-faced shut-ins about their exploits on the sports field. How bad was it for you?
Thanks to scarpe for the suggestion.

An Olympian knocked my tooth out.
Back when I was a little kid I used to be part of a saturday morning swim group. (Read tons of kids swimming up and down lanes while the coaches looked about desperately for someone with a tinsy bit of talent.)
As you can expect with a bunch of kids messing around things can get a bit violent. A good trick was starting to swim without pushing off and kicking everyone in your vincinity. Although when 2 kids do it at the same time, one is going to lose. I lost, a tooth, to a girl.
Although I was never good enough to get on the elite swimming team I did stay a swimmer for a while, and then a lifeguard so did the girl that wounded me. So I was quite happy for her when she actually got into the Olympics. Didn;t do great but she was there. And she once knocked my tooth out.
(not a great story but is an injury related Olympics one so I posted it just for Ungersven)
