Personally I used to do gymnastics and I always had injuries during competitions lol
And the worst was that once I slipped on a beam bar (not sure about the translation, pls see pic below haha) while during a cartwheel jump thing and I landed on this bar and fell down but I scratched open both of my upper inner thighs... no clue how I managed to do that haha I just remember pain and me not being able or allowed to continue
What about you?

Oh and I was not allowed to participate in the training for two weeks, but I still had to be there and just watch ughh that was awful and my trainer would keep making jokes about that haha
I wrecked my knee pretty bad playing soccer. That was approx 1972-73 and the knee is still bad. Although it's been re-injured a couple of times since then.
"beam bar (not sure about the translation"
It's called a balance beam. In English the other women's events are called: Floor Exercise (usually called floor ex), Uneven Bars (or uneven parallel bars) and Vault.
I was a gymnast also. We used to have trampoline as an event, but they supposedly quit doing it because it was too dangerous. I had a pretty bad injury on trampoline. My knee hit myself in the face and briefly knocked myself out. I had a huge black eye that was swelled shut for over a week. If I had traveled slightly further and gone off the trampoline, the injury could have been much worse.
I've actually had more injuries doing construction work than doing sports. Most of my joints have been injured at one time or another.
I was on the tennis team in HS. I had a torn abdominal muscle one time and I had a strained quad another time, I had to see doctors and was out to recover for those, the abdominal tear hurt more but the strained quad was more annoying bc I had to use crutches for a week. Another time I hurt my shoulder somehow but it was not v. bad they just told me to let it rest and take Advil.
I had mild sprains, wind knocked out of me but nothing serious.
Worst injury was when i went up for a layup in hs.
I had a hard drive and an even harder foul from a monster center. She hit me mid air, i flew up and came down on my booty. I thought i broke my butt. Luckily i had a bruised tailbone.
yes, they are going to do electrolysis and burn the hair follicles. i will be knocked out when it is done thankfully. It may take more than one session.
I don’t know… Nothing major. Slap shot hockey puck to the nuts. Sprained ankle in soccer. Blisters, a black toe nail, probably tendinitis and generally destroyed feet after marathon running. Basically couldn’t walk right for like 3 days to a week because my tendons were over extended from repeated impacted and all inflamed. Shoulders tend to hurt from time to time these days as I age. It’s likely due to my wrestling past throwing around heavy weight human bodies like sock puppets. Never actually got injured wrestling though
I was in 5th or 6th grade gym class. I used to do some kind of slide across the wooden floor, like I was taking a long slide into home plate while playing baseball. Class was about to end and a bunch of the kids and teacher asked me to do my "famous slide". So, I did the run like I was hitting all the bases and went to slide in to home plate which was a large wresting mat on the floor but, for some reason, my sneakers stuck to the floor instead of sliding as they usually would and I went flying ass over tits and hit my head on the concrete wall above the mat!! The good thing is, there was another of those mats hanging on that wall so, I didn't crack my skull open but it still hurt like a bitch.
I rolled my ankle when landing after spiking a ball in a pickup volleyball game in college. I tore some ligaments and it took several weeks before I could walk without limping. That's the only injury I've ever had that's worth noting. Of course, I've had some minor cuts and bruises but nothing to worry about.
Stretching of the ligaments in the ankle of the right leg (twice the same leg), the second time the injury was even worse. At the hospital they told me that I was lucky that I didn't break my ligaments. I was a backgammon player, the first time a colleague managed to trick me and I didn't step as I should have with my foot on the ground, I was forced to continue playing by the coach and surprisingly I was also the best scorer in the game. (it hurt like hell) The second injury was to the same leg, I ran and jumped to rebound the ball, I jumped higher than usual, I got scared, and the leg I landed on was the one that had healed from what was said before. I landed directly on the ground screaming, my leg was deformed from the second injury.

I actually did something very similar to what you did in high school, but as a guy the outcome was a bit more severe lol
I actually passed out and had to be taken to the hospital because one of my nuts was ruptured under the weight of my body. Fun times.
I don't know how but once I turned 20 long distance run turned into limping for weeks on end lol knee compressions help so much but if u overdo i get knee tears and abuncha other ish I refuse surgery but it's a bish the same for my back lol
I ran track which is not super dangerous. I did, however, help my sister practice Krav Maga a few times, and I suffered through some pretty serious kicks to the balls, so that sucked. Never a real injury though.
As I played volleyball I had heel spur that causes chronic Achilles tendon inflammation. It was painful, I had to leave volleyball team and that heel spur dissolved without any treatment.
gymnastics one, it's on youtube. I don't want to look up the name or will it will show the injury again. But she didn't stick the landing and both legs bent the wrong way.

I race cars and was decapitated once in a crash. But they were able to re-attach my head. I can't turn my head to the right anymore though. Fortunately for me we only turn left.
Two reasons, first I didn't get better fast enough, I always failed on backflips and my friends who started out with me went a group above me and therefore additionally I was also scared during the winter to walk home alone, training was until 10 pm and so I just quit with like 15 yr.
I don't know if this count but the worst sports injury I've had is when I broke open a blood blister on the basketball rim it hurt pretty bad but now I always have alcohol prep pads and band-aids
