Azizulhasni Awang Finishes Track Race with Splinter Through Leg

The Malaysian rider managed to get back on his bike after a high-speed crash in the Keirin final and stagger across the line, but it was only afterward that the full extent of his injury became clear. Pictures showed a large splinter of wood from the track had gone right through his left calf. Awang was given third, but missed his moment on the podium because he was on his way to hospital. Awang, who has won World Championship medals in the past two seasons, is set to go under general anesthetic for the removal of the splinter at Manchester's Royal Infirmary. A scan late on Saturday night assessed the injury, but medics opted to wait until tackling the splinter, which was around 7.9in (20cm) long.

Hockey’s Most Badass Goalie Masks

The mask goalies wear in hockey have come a long way. Hard to believe there was a time when they’d raw dog it in the net. Those dudes had serious balls taking rock hard pucks to the dome. While the masks of yesteryear were primitive, they were also pretty scary. Even Jason Voorhees is like, “Take if off, dude. You’re buggin’ me out.” So, with the NHL All-Star Weekend approaching, we decided to take a look at the most kick-ass, bad-ass masks in the sport. Try not to wet yourself. See the pics after the jump!
