All-Star Fierce Photos!

Also, athletes from all sports receive accolades for continuing when injured.

Remember thy gymnast that broke her leg and still vaulted?
People worshipped the ground she walked on.

That doesn't mean that everyone's going to agree that they should be. Since I assume you're talking about Kerri Strug, at the time she thought if she didn't land on her feet they would take silver in the Olympics (though we now know that's not the case), so circumstances are a bit different, however I still don't agree that she should get praised for vaulting.

I feel like they shouldn't need to push through, but strength in all forms is something to be proud of.

Her pushing through Is on her coaches shoulders, not her own.

That'd be Kerri Strug....watched it live and almost lost my mind!

I may be alone here, but I don't think it's anyone's right to be posting these pictures around social media but the athletes themselves. Those were serious injuries and as much as we'd all like to say they're fighters, injuries are no joke and far from "fierce" and I think the last thing we should be doing is praising everyone for continuing that routine. Probably alone in that thinking though.

To be fair, she was probably too in shock to realize she was injured and just continued automatically. I got in a really really bad car accident a few weeks ago, and someone had to tell me that there was pieces of glass stuck in my arm and blood was running down my body. I honestly would have never known I was hurt until someone told me.

That girl on Aces :( She got blood on her beautiful uniform. (Just saying, i could barely look at that picture.) Get better girly!

I'm just glad these injuries weren't any worse than they were. It could have been so much worse. I'm praying they get better quickly and that maybe we can learn from what happened so that it can help others be safer in the future. It's amazing how these kids can fight through stuff, and it is true that it is instinct to keep going. All I can say is that I'm glad the girls are going to be okay this time.

I was the first person to say that hunny, I know the routine should have been stopped. I made a whole thread about it.

That doesn't change my opinion though. Even though she shouldn't have had to continue, she is a BAB for being able to. I have tons of respect for her strength.

I AM NOT your hunny HUNNAY!

Another one from Encore in Atlanta last weekend(Future Extreme)...what can I say, I prefer shooting these tough to catch action shots...I'm not much of a 'hold still for the camera' kinda guy.

Not that it matters, but just for the record, Kerri Strug had a sprained ankle, not a broken leg. There's a pretty big difference.

Yes, I'm that old. :(

I understand she shouldn't have continued but does anyone else think that the fierce part is that she's still smiling after an injury, and that she's still in good spirit?
