Big Shots for May 28, 2010

So much is happening in the sports world it's hard to keep up. In the coming weeks I hope to have special Big Shots posts dedicated to the Giro d'Italia cycling race, the French Open tennis tournament, and the NBA basketball and NHL hockey finals. And that's on top of bringing you the best single sports images of the week. So many sports images, so little time.... ( 24 photos total)

This collection of photos is just ace. Right from the poverty of local football in South Africa to the fun of moving a coin from you forehead to your mouth (i will try that with my family at home) than onto the concentration of table tennis. This proves that whilst fitness and mental tenacity are paramount, all games when performed correctly should be just pure and simple FUN.
