Posted By on Sep 14, 2017 in Jo Blogs

This week’s sport social media round-up features hilarious photos of long jumper Greg Rutherford recovering from an op while looking after his two youngs kids, stunning photography, and both devastating and heartwarming results of Hurricane Irma.

Yep.

Out of adversity comes American footballer JJ Watt ???



Who catches those balls that tennis stars fire into the crowd? This guy, that’s who ?

Just love this. One person CAN make a difference… ?

Yep, that’s you Brinn Bevan…

Britain’s Max Whitlock has competition on the pommel horse at the upcoming world gymnastics champs… from Chelsea’s David Luiz… ?

Ooh, pretty. ‘Tis Greenland or Iceland this, I think. Anyone?

The former 1993 and 1994 world gymnastics champ’s still got it!

Greg Rutherford may be London 2012 Olympic long jump champ but now he faces a real test ?

It's so relaxing 6 days post op with 2 children. The perfect way to recover… Breezy ??

Sadly, a real life Point Break situation.

Greg Rutherford is back! This time, his son Milo shares an expression we’re all familiar with.

I think we all know that feeling when your epic dog face paint gets mushed…

Circled by barracuda? Rather you than me Dinah Halstead!



Sometimes you just gotta get out and smell the roses, or climb rocks – whatever floats you boat.

Take your downtime where you can get it.

The view of downtown Montreal from the Belvédère Kondiaronk viewpoint on Mont Royal by @simoncroberts (part of my series of photographs of Montreal featured in this month's @natgeotravel). The mountain is the site of Mount Royal Park, one of Montreal's largest greenspaces. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed New York's Central Park, and inaugurated in 1876, although not completed to his design. The lookout was built later, in 1906, and is named for the Huron chief who signed a major peace accord with the French regime in 1701.

Sore skin, frizzy hair, tired arms. Good session 🙂 . . . . ? @bearcam

Just how a fitness trainer relaxes around the campfire ?

Yeah, the players just do it for the money… Sloane Stephens’ reaction to being handed a winners’ cheque for over $3m is priceless!

Tough Guy events are the same all over the world – utter madness. I covered UK Tough Guy, electric shocks an’ all!

If you want to see every muscle in the human body working, watch Adam Ondra attempt the world’s most difficult climb.
