It snowed nearly a foot in New York City, so photographer Timothy Clary set up at a 5th Ave intersection and took some splendid wipeout photos for Getty Images. He is a hero.
Wiping Out should be a Winter Olympics event
Perfectly-timed photos of New Yorkers wiping out in the snow is your new sports religion.
Let’s celebrate with ice skating-style judging! And we’re using the 6.0 System, not that New Judging System business. Get real.
(Honorable Mention) This poor schmoe, 5.2
Winter Olympics sport she could play, if not Wiping Out: Actual speed skating
(Honorable Mention) This helpless sucker, 5.4
Winter Olympics sport she could play, if not Wiping Out: Ice dancing.
(Bronze) This half-balanced simpleton, 5.6
Winter Olympics sport she could play, if not Wiping Out: Hockey goalie.
(Silver) This sad sack, 5.8
Winter Olympics sport he could play, if not Wiping Out: Curling. People hip enough to ride bikes are probably hip enough to have attempted curling, ironically.
(Gold) This bag carrying champion, 6.0
Winter Olympics sport she could play, if not Wiping Out: The Olympic torch, spirit of the games, herself. This woman is everything.
