On a technical note, whereas I would have machine-gun-photographed with the D810 at 5 FPS to try to get this shot (and would have had a 50-50 chance), I was able to get the “decisive moment” with the M8 on a single click of the shutter.

(aka “The Little Gym of Horrors”)
Actually, the real horror in this gym was the mixed lighting, which wreaked havoc on the white balance from shot-to-shot.
On a different note, this Kids vs. Adults match unfortunately resulted in many injuries, so future matches are in doubt.
You can probably guess which group is hurting this morning.
