I have never been able to understand why exactly Yahoo or AP photographers seem to think photos of a skater in mid-jump are so crucial, because, as everyone who follows the sport knows, that's usually when the skaters look their worst. I mean, how hard can it be for them to get a good shot during a pose, or a spiral, or spin (mind you, I've seen some pretty bad spin photos at times), or even the exit out of a jump? I mean, all these talented photo journalists, and all they seem to be thinking is, "Hey! She's jumping! Take a picture!"

hey, don't knock em...

If you forget about the face, they're actually pretty cool. It shows you how much strength is required to jump like that. You can also see the muscles on their arms often times.

That one of Cohen you posted is funny, but believe me- I've seen even worse.
