Have a read of the winning entries:

"I invited a girlfriend to watch me play rugby. Running onto the field I turned and waved at her, just as the bloke in front of me knelt to retie his shoe. Embarrassingly, I tripped over him, hurt my neck and was stretchered off to an ambulance. And the game hadn't even started!"
Bruce Devereaux

"Picture it: A 100m freestyle swimming race. All good, got to end of the pool and went for the turn. Tried to push off wall, but to my dismay, wasn't actually at the end of the pool. I'd just turned 15m from the end. How embarrassing. Continued nonetheless; disqualified but dignified!"
Sasha Planinic Here are some of the other funny entries we've received.

“Going to the gym and perving on a cute guy, I banged into a pole and gave myself a black eye!”
Jane Alanthwaite, Wentworthville NSW

“I used to be a brown belt in martial arts and offered myself as a personal instructor for two hours at a work charity auction. However, on the day of the training while demonstrating a warm-up routine, I pulled a hamstring and wasn’t able to even to begin the lesson!”
Robert Spadafora, by e-mail

“My daughter and I were about to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We used breath freshener just before going in and were stopped by the bridge breath tester! My daughter was so embarrassed, but luckily we passed with flying colours after further testing and were allowed to do the climb. It was awesome!”
Ros Mayes, Eumundi, Qld

“I was overweight and decided to do some exercises. Unfortunately, after lying on the floor, I could not get up again. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I yelled ‘Come in’ and in came a delivery guy. To my embarrassment, I had to ask him to haul me off the floor.”
Elsa Pfeifer, by e-mail

“We decided to go hiking while holiday in Cairns, and afterwards went for a swim at the Cascades. I lost my footing at the top of the cascades and slid into the rock pool headfirst and lost my bikini top. How embarrassing!”
K Ngo, Parafield Gardens, SA

“I was standing on my ‘Perfect Leg’ exerciser in my underwear, in front of the TV, singing, with my legs going “in” and “out” to the music as instructed, when my hubby walks in with a workmate with a ‘Honey, I’m home’. I stood there frozen, wishing I could disappear into the ground. No one said anything. I wonder why...”
Nell de Jong, Baxter, VIC

“I was on the treadmill and I hit the speed button, but it got stuck and I flew off the back and into the glass wall behind with such speed that I cracked glass. To stabilise the glass the fire department was called, so not only did I embarrass myself in front of the entire gym, but in front of some hot firies as well.”
Suzy Ellis, Salisbury Heights, SA
