Create-a-Caption: This does not look like much fun

By Nick Friedell

It's clear that Olympic gymnasts love what they do, you'd have to in order to spend all those hours training in the gym. When I see pictures like this though, it makes me wonder how many times a day the gymnasts must think to themselves, 'What am I doing?'

The focus on Yang Wei's face in this picture is incredible, but it looks like he is in some serious pain. The Chinese gymnast earned the gold medal though, so I guess all that determination paid off.

As always, put your best caption ideas down below ...

After the jump, check out the winner from yesterday's C-a-C   

Note: The winner was chosen from submissions that were fit to print

    Everytime when I saw their performance it always amazed me, especially when they did tricks and made them looks easy. But I also saw that it was hard when they had to hold themselves, you saw their shaking.

    This picture clearly shows the difficulty level of winning a gold medal...
    Good job of Yahoo! for finding such a picture with unspeakable intention and it must be hard and painful too!
