"Attempting to get under your opponents' skin is a time-honored aspect of sports, handball included. Rarely, however, does it go better than this. Jostling for position, one handball player gives another a sarcastic peck on the cheek. The smoochee immediately shoves his antagonizer to the ground and then launches into one of the all-time sports meltdowns.  \n\nSEE ALSO: NFL Star Accidentally Tweets Photo With Naked Teammate\nThe video comes from a match between Italian handball teams, according to its YouTube description. Not surprisingly, it's proved a hit with sports fans there, gaining more than 200,000 views in just a few days online. \nWhat are your favorite sports meltdown videos? Share them with us in the comments. \nBONUS: 25 of YouTube\u2019s Funniest Sports Fails\n\n\n\nSports Fails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Golf Cart Fail\n\nThis runaway vehicle wreaked minor on-field havoc following a high school football championship in Texas last December. But a heroic bystander hopped aboard and put on the brakes.\nNo casualties occurred, and the clip immediately became Internet legend.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Penalty Kick Fail\nWatch out for the ricochet, goalie! This kid gets it in the right in the chops.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Mascot on Rollerblades Fail\nWhat happens when you put an inflatable dinosaur on rollerblades and ask it to skate down a flight of stairs? Amazingness, that's what.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Flopping Fail\nIn sports, to \"flop\" is to exaggerate the force of contact in hopes of drawing a favorable call from officials. But you've got to time it much, much better than this guy does.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. Hockey Celebration Fail\nApparently, if you hug a member of the opposite team after scoring a goal in hockey, you will get punched in the face.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Innocent Bystander Fail\nThis kid is just in the wrong place at the wrong time...to the benefit of the rest of us.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Representing Your School Fail\n\nCollege football mascots are supposed to represent their schools in a fun, positive light \u2014 which doesn't typically include picking fights. Here, the University of Oregon's duck slams the University of Houston's cougar.\nBonus points for the sick elbow drop, though.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Weightlifting Fail\n\nNot saying we could successfully lift 432 pounds above our heads, but dang, that looks painful.\nGerman weightlifter Matthias Steiner dropped this massive barbell on his neck during the London Olympics this summer, but escaped serious injury.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. Trampoline Dunk Fail\nSometimes, when you fail, you actually win.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Hurdling Fail\n\nWhy jump over hurdles when you could just RUN STRAIGHT THROUGH THEM?\nFile under: Never, Ever Gets Old.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11. Paying Attention Fail\nAfter what could best be described as an \"optimistic\" shot attempt in a game last season, NBA center JaVale McGee showed some nice hustle getting back on defense. Only problem? His team still had the ball.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12. Judgment Fail\nBut that wasn't McGee's only legendary moment. Here, he shows why it's not a good idea to try dunking from the free throw line mid-game.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13. Olympic Promo Fail\n\nFor some reason, London's Olympic promotions this summer involved hanging Mayor Boris Johnson on a zipline while waving a pair of tiny flags.\nThen he got stuck halfway through and it was pretty much the best, funniest, awkwardest thing that could have happened.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14. Grand Slam Celebration Fail\nMajor Leaguer Kendry Morales broke his lower left leg while celebrating a game-winning grand slam in 2010. This edited video provides the before, during and after rundown.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15. Slam Dunk Fail\nSee? White guys can jump? It's just the landing that's the hard part.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16. High Dive Fail\nThe announcer here sums it up perfectly. She calls this attempt from the 1992 Olympics \"an absolute failed dive.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17. Piggyback Ride Fail\nWhat begins as an innocent enough piggyback ride atop a fuzzy mascot turns into a pretty epic collision \u2014 and YouTube gold.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n18. Long Jump Fail\nDude! If you're gonna pump up the crowd like that, you can't just faceplant into the sand.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19. Touchdown Celebration Fail\nWhen you think about it, is there any better way to celebrate a touchdown than by pegging an unsuspecting spectator in the face? Bonus points for originality, at least.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n20. Pro Golfer Fail\nYou'd think a professional golfer could put the ball in the hole with less than 16 strokes. Kevin Na \u2014 and the rest of the world \u2014 found out otherwise on this par-four hole at the 2011 Valero Texas Open.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n21. Head-First Slide Fail\nWell, that's one way of doing it...right?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n22. Time Management Fail\n\nTie game, clock winding down \u2014 it's always better to get one last attempt up than just let the game go into overtime. A full court desperation heave with a 11 seconds to go is never the way to do it, however.\nThis classic gaffe by the University of Connecticut's Roscoe Smith came during a matchup of top teams in 2011.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n23. Boogie Boarding Fail\nIts veracity may be suspect, but this 2008 YouTube classic has more than 12.7 million views, despite a mind-numbing soundtrack.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n24. Sportsmanship Fail\n\nThe summer of 2011 was a tough time for NBA star LeBron James. It was full of lingering ill-will for his decision to the leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and snarky schadenfreude over his initial failure to win a championship with the Miami Heat.\nSo it makes perfect sense that he'd let off some steam by viciously dunking on a tiny kid at summer camp, right? That's what happens at the 0:43 mark of this video.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n25. Standing on a Basketball Hoop Fail\nWe're not quite sure why this mascot thought standing on top of a basketball rim was a good idea.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
