Thanks to everyone that made comments. I wish this one had come out better, but I couldn't get far enough away with this lens in the crowded arena. Oh well, I'll have to get a better one another time. :)

Would have been a good capture, but missed focus. Nice bokeh and framing though.

this could have been an interesting shot, but the very poor focus really brings down it down. i'm afraid this one really should have been reshot.

Subject isn't focused well and reflection on helmet is distracting.
