Another polo tournament, and as usual it is Fede from Argentina who shows the most passion and commitment to the game. If the pony is not fast enough, then Fede just makes it to the ball through willpower and contortions. Having already fallen off and have the horse land on top of him within the first minute of the game…

…you would expect him to take it easy. But within a couple of minutes he was racing for the ball again.


If he just stretches out a little further, maybe he can get there first.


Although taking his feet out of the stirrups is probably a bad idea. Click to see just how bad an idea it was….

Not looking stable, but takes a swing anyway.



Still got his eye on the ball.


The point of no return?






Ouch!

The advantage of ten frames a second is that you can shoot a sequence like the above and then pick your favourite shot. Mine would be this one, slight cropped from the original:

Oh, and Fede suffered only bruises, and was soon back scoring goals.
