Today, I had a big figure skating competition. Many of the girls before me fell or did not execute their jumps correctly. Me? I skated a flawless program. I was placed last because they said I didn't push myself hard enough to the point of falling. FML

Today, I was testing for figure skating. I was wearing a brand new custom dress that was a halter top. On my first move, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Immediately after retaking the move, my dress snapped open, exposing myself to the judges. FML

Today, in ballet class, I was really focusing and actually trying to work hard. I was really getting into the choreography. I was travelling big and leaping long. While going across the floor, again I travelled and leaped… right into the ballet bars and fell over, in front of 35 people. FML

Today, and for a few days, I've been sick, vomiting, with fever from a stomach bug. I was in the middle of a figure skating competition when it happened. I had just won and was gearing up for day two. I also just lost a best friend after they asked me to throw the competition and I declined. FML

Today, I went skating at the local rink. I had a really hard time balancing and was falling all over the place. After everyone had a good laugh, someone finally decided to tell me that one of my blade covers was still on, thanks. FML

Today, at a ski resort, I tried to impress an attractive girl on the slopes and failed, horribly. I ended up with a mild concussion and some serious cuts after tripping, tumbling and hitting my head against the ground. I don't think she was impressed. FML

Today, while ice-skating with my girlfriend, I tried to do what they do in the movies and make her gently fall into my arms. Instead she slipped, fell, and hit her head on the ice. FML

Today, I had one of my biggest dance shows ever. After months of practice I had finally gotten the lead position. When I entered the stage and raised my arms my straps fell down and I flashed an audience of 5000. FML

Today, I tried to go rollerskating with my kids. I wasn’t even able to fully stand up before I fell and broke my leg. FML

Today, I went ice skating for my friend's birthday. We had to vacate the skating rink so that they could smooth out the rink for the next session. I don't know how to skate and my friends left me. Not only was I the last one out of the rink, but I had to crawl my way out with everyone laughing. FML

Today, I competed in a ballet competition and made the finals, while I was on stage awaiting the results, I sneezed really loudly and snot went flying all over the stage. When I went to accept my award the woman presenting it refused to shake my hand. FML

If at first you don't fail, try, try again.

I feel your pain OP :( one time a teacher took points off a oral assignment I did because I didn't look at my flash cards...

To play the Devil's Advocate, could it be that OP's program wasn't challenging enough from a technical perspective? If everyone else was attempting double axles at every turn and she kept both skates on the ice for the most part, the judges would probably score the other people higher to begin with and then take off points for the mistakes. Of course, I can't say that's what happened because I didn't see the programs, but that could be one explanation.

#78 personally I like clumpsy better. Am mix of plump and clumsy, or even jump and clumsy in OPs competitors' cases.

everyone claiming judges bias and all that. how do you know she didn't do a basic routine compared to the other girls?

That sucks, sometimes it's hard to fall. The way that I fix my stature if I'm falling is to just go faster, taking more balance. I'm sorry you lost OP :/

That's how ice skating competitions are judged. You get more credit for doing more complicated tricks imperfectly than doing simple tricks perfectly. That's how they judge professional competitions, too.
