Cristiano Ronaldo or LeBron James are both world-famous athletes with huge incomes, but sports also bring devastating losses to themselves.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s feet
After the match against Al Ahli, Ronaldo posted on his personal page a photo of him recovering his physical condition wearing Erakulis “pants”. What fans noticed most in the photo was the swelling of Ronaldo’s feet.
“A professional athlete for 22 years looking at his feet.. he definitely wakes up in crazy pain every day” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Look at his feet, imagine the pain every day,” said another.
Pawel Poljanski’s feet
Former professional cyclist Pawel Poljanksi may not be a household name in the UK, but general sports fans will hardly forget his legs.
In 2017, he posted a photo of his vascular legs after finishing a race. To this day, that image still causes “haunting”.
LeBron James’s toes
It took LeBron James many years of training to become an NBA legend. At the age of 39, he is the highest scoring player in NBA history with more than 48,000 points. And his feet seem to pay a high price, especially his toes.
Neymar’s ankle
Neymar once made Brazilian fans fear that his 2022 World Cup would end when he injured his ankle in the opening match against Serbia. However, Neymar was still able to continue playing in the group stage and help the Brazilian team reach the quarterfinals.
The striker shared photos of his ankle condition two days after the match against Serbia. Moving on looked painful but he kept his head held high.
