School Sports DayAt some point in the distant past, someone at my school had built a large concrete tank behind the sheds and called it a swimming pool. Proud of this, they had a "Swimming Sports Day" in which everyone had to participate, even those who couldn't swim (they got to walk across the shallow end of the tank).
This would probably have been OK if the pool hadn't turned a deep opaque green the night before due to lack of maintainance. Even the school sports stars didn't want to go near the gloopy mess in the pool. We were practically pushed in. I'm sure some of the younger kids never surfaced again and the non-swimmers looked petrified.
Tell us your sports day horrors.

PEim a rather violent person by nature, despite being a girl
and im not amazing at sports, but i do try anyway.
anyway.
one such PE lesson, we were playing rounders, and i was up for batting.
i tend to hit the ball quite hard, but not really aiming properly. this lack of aim caused the rounders ball (as in solid, not a tennis ball) to hit the person on second base in the knee.
she crumpled to the floor. and i walked over to her and nudged her with my foot, and told her to walk it off.
it turns out id broken her knee cap, and she couldnt walk for about 3 months, and cant do any kind of physical activity that involves running.
another time in gymnastics (compulsory) i tied my friends hands together behind her back by her thumbs with a bobble (hair tie) and pushed her over.
she broke her thumb and tore the ligament. she had to have an operation and have her hand in a cast for 8 months.
ahem.
surprisingly, we're still best friends
