It is not photoshopped. The person just put an Instagram filter over it. They just increased the brightness or contrast or something.
All these links are not working now.

Nothing beats 2 people diving to the track at the line and collapsing as they give absolutely everything they have for the final olympic spot. So much drama and excitement in the race. Ranks as one of my all time favorites.

Holy crap what in infantile b-tch. She raises her arms in "victory" (or to "raise the roof"), gets outkicked because she wasted her energy on that crap, and then has the gall to give the other chick the double middle finger?? F her.
