16 Totally Surreal Pictures of Olympians

The Olympics are over for another couple of years, which is always a bit of a letdown. It’s so fun to watch these people who have trained for years finally see all of that dedication and sacrifice and hard work come to fruition.

It’s also consistently mind-blowing, watching people do things that honestly don’t seem humanly possible (and aren’t for most of us).

If you think nothing about Olympians can blow your mind anymore, we think these 16 pictures just might change your mind.

16. You think YOU go all in on leg day.

This almost looks Photoshopped!

15. What.

I am not ok after seeing this.

13. Now that’s talent.

Give me more of this, please.

12. This swimmer even shaves his eyebrows.

How much of an advantage do you suppose that really gives him?

An alien nightmare.

Someone explain this to me!

6. Usain Bolt is obviously an alien.

The superhero kind, not the creepy ones.

This picture is surreal.

2. Basketball players vs. gymnasts.

Both amazing in their own big (and small) ways.

1. That’s so high up.

Doesn’t it hurt when they hit the water?

It’s just wild what the human body can do, isn’t it?
