The Friday Performance and Photography Thread – The "POOOOWWWWER!" edition.

As above really. Your finest sporting pictures on the theme of “power”. Interpret as you will!

Such as, the madly thighed Robert Förstemann

When he hit a ball, it stayed hit.

😉

Power? The Tommmy Hearns right hand

Power of the sea or of the boat? You have both here..

How anyone managed to cope with the ferocious power delivery of a 500cc 2 stroke V4 was beyond me. But the way Doohan used to almost casually drift the back wheel…

1.6l of powaarr!

32 mph.

The average speed over 50mins that Bradley wiggins achieved in the Olympic time trial.
Try hitting 32mph for 1 min next time you ride a road bike.

I know American Football isn’t that popular in England, but for those who don’t know Maurice Jones Drew was considered too short to be a decent player(only 5’7″ -the same height as me!) . He is now one of the best running backs in the league – proving you don’t have to be big to have a shed load of power if you hit the gym enough:

Here’s a picture of him next to a more conventionally sized player:

scrapes barell with obvious post

I know little of rugger but he was impressive when he was running fast and joust through folk

Tony Martin, who’s not bad at chucking out a huge wattage for an extended period of time.

The impressive Anna Tunnicliffe sailing her laser radial 8)

She’s going to catch a chill like that

Described like riding a freight train on Nitrous Oxide 😆

CR500?

Edit
Nope. Pic too small on phone screen!

How about some Dakar/Kamaz lunacy?

BOOOM!

From that picture, the left’s not bad either.

Bregante, that is a SUPERB picture.
