School Sports Day
At 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.

Oh God, spacehoppers.....
A teacher at my high school decided to compete in a novelty race, straddling TWO SPACEHOPPERS.
He looked like a very very bad case of 'bouncing elephantiasis',or a sort of ungodly cross between Daley Thompson and Buster Gonad.
The whole school and crowd were screaming with uncontrollable laughter. Possibly the funniest thing any of us had ever seen, in a disturbing sort of way.
