Ouch. Poor guy. Bet his ego hurt worse. 😣
He laughed about it afterwards
Under pressure, wet feet in rush known to do. Hope everyone well after giggle.
No giggles Period that’s what is so wrong People have no Empathy.
Lol big freaking deal so what..
I love that this is news. Editor probably has a grudge. XD
Terribly embarrassing!🫣😬
I have never done this and I am not even a professional diver.
Fat person lecturing an athlete vibes
How many time a day do you dive? 50 to about 100?
10, 10, 10 across the ‘board’. No pun intended. 🤣🤣
Unless he was hurt, not sure this was news worthy?
My thoughts exactly and I came here to make this comment. Unless there is more to the story, there really was no point in trying to make a small blunder news worthy. And if there is more to the story, like he was injured or there was something wrong with the board or, I don’t know, some lesson to be learned, then why not report on it?
Is anything news worthy nowadays on social media? 😁
Oh it’s very news worthy when he’s French
It’s the inauguration ceremony for this diving pool which will be used in the Olympics. French president Macron is there watching the ceremony. Not intend to mean presidents are more important people but that’s basically why this is in the news.
Context is always helpful. Thanks!
🤣
Ouch!
Poor guy! I hope he isn’t hurt.
Just his ego 🤕
He back was scrapped up but he said he was fine
Excellent technique
I used to be on the swim team, never dived, because this is exactly how it played out in my head.
Your suppose to land on two feet not 1 its why he fell.
Talk about an OwOui 😬😂. He just unlocked a whole new level of embarrassment.
Emotional damage 10
His mom and dad must’ve cringed ! 😅
😅
That’s going to be played on repeat for the rest of his. I know the feeling.
Yo this is crazy news right here, well done NBC for finding such a captivating story.
Lol this is hilarious
I’m weak 😂
Just like his technique
Dude, why did they do the slo-mo and everything? Did this poor man dirty 😂
Why would he come down on one foot instead of both-When he started he was using both? Smh, but not for the news to replay it I slow-mo.
The other diver doesn’t go down on both feet either though, he does both then looks like he is crossing his feet then goes back to both. Maybe it was a special type of move that went wrong but the other divers feet don’t look professional either.
This reminds me of fry in futurama falling into the goat vomit
Hmmm that looked like bad acting to me not an innocent slip.
See! Even professionals can slip like this, imagine the regular people
Wow GREAT news reporting NBC.
Well, he got in first 🫣
Hahahaha first and last time youll see a frog fail jumping
So a diver went into a swimming pool!.?.?.?.didnt know i needed this “news” in my life great job dems
The pool not a pool
The French being french
Well, hes french, what did we expect? Victory?
He’s French 🇫🇷 he will drink wine,
eat bread and cheese 🍷 🥖 🧀
and forgot it happened.
That sucks
It would’ve been hilarious if even part of his nut sac had been-exposed. Of course they would blocked that out but still. 😂😂 if only
Baby oil on the legs to look nice must of slipped to the feet 🫣 stay away from BaBy OiL!
not a slip his leg just gave out
Ouch 😮
😂😂que contratiempo
Ouch. I hope he is OK
..
Such grace, perfect form.
I hope he didn’t hurt himself too bad because this is hilarious 🤭
Hope he is ok
Good ol bacon and eggs
Okay……sooooo…. the point is to humiliate him??? Not sure about this BS….
Oh neu mon buttock
This isn’t newsworthy, and it’s got to be embarrassing for the guy. It seems almost spiteful for a major news outlet to take the time make such a mountain out of a molehill.
Trying to tank the French medal score begin the game begins.
Fits the fact how much Russia concentrated undermine French image, but here they served it to them
I mean, he did laugh about it though
So why did his right leg curled?
I know from experience that those falls are not nice
Did he slip or did he dive 🤷♂️🤔
10/10.
He’ll look back and laugh.
Doubtful
NBC, we’ll be there to watch you fall! 😂
That’s literally the funniest thing, he’s not hurt its not in a comp, we’ve all done something similar… so enjoy it for what it is, very funny!!!
That’s the scary scenario for these swimmers hope he was not suffered major injury!
Мне кажется он это нарочно сделал
He fell on his Greg Looseanus.
In the past, during the monarchy, he might be in prison or his life might be in danger by now. He made a big mistake in front of the king.
This man is a comedic genius! Such commitment to the bit
Utter scam
Oh no ! Poor guy this is not the way to impress everyone during the Olympic games in Paris
Very newsworthy?
It’s the “triple lindy “dive like in movie back to school 😂
Thats no french diver thats JVT aka jimmy 99
Slip proof tape..they sell it at Lowe’s
Ouch
sounded like an angry bird
Now, he is legend
Going for the Jerry Lewis approach
10!
