Photo – 12

A perfectly normal move can become deeply awkward when photographed from exactly the wrong angle. That seems to be the case here, where the choreography was probably innocent but the camera had other plans. Figure skating and unfortunate perspective have been working together for years.
Nothing scandalous may have happened in real time, yet the still frame tells a much cheekier story. That mismatch is what makes these photos so funny. The athletes are thinking about timing and edge control, while the camera is busy creating unintentional comedy.
