Cao Zhongrong of China falls from his horse ChuChu during the men's riding show jumping event of the modern pentathlon competition at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, August 21, 2008.

I've seen many shots of horse jump misses over the years, but this one is interesting in how the photographer captured the rider almost completely vertical. This is an image that creates suspense by making you wonder how it ended for the rider.
