German diver, Stephen Feck lost it on a dive. Feel bad for the guy, but it was kind-of funny.

He will live in infamy now. He Fecked up big.

Wait, is that show still on? Yes, it is, I think it is on just after Baseball Bunch.

That dive looked like a disaster from the beginning. Looked like his tuck just fell apart mid-dive.
That said, I guess I'm less impressed by the crash, since that can often be par for the course for high school divers and that's what I got used to watching for four years as a swimmer. One of my good friends decided for reasons still unknown to me to pick up diving as a sophomore, and he got to be pretty good by his senior year but never quite lost the nickname of "50/50" that he picked up his first year.

Since he is in the Olympics,
Since he is in the Olympics, I assume he is a pretty good diver, he just lost it on that one. Judges were ruthless, they all gave him zeros. I thought you got a couple of points just for the effort.

In diving, you declare your dive ahead of time and if you don't complete the specified number of turns, it's an automatic zero. That was supposed to be a three-and-a-half and it looks like he barely got three, which will get you zeroes every time.

If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
Ouch!
I feel for the guy. I did that in my 10th grade gym class from 3m - minus the flips. My back was killing me for weeks afterward.

Four years of intense training to become one of the best divers in the world. Then you lose what is probably second-nature in your mind for two seconds and now the guy will live in infamy forever.

Oh man...
When I read your post (prior to watching the video) I thought "That's just terrible, making fun of a guy who put so much work into his craft, gets to the olympics and makes a mistake and this is how you react"....Then I watched the video.
I still feel for the guy and all, but that was pretty much the funniest thing I have seen since gerg washed Demens face with a stuffed animal. In fact I had similar reactions to both. First was shock and embarrassment that was quickly followed by a WTF was that moment that lead to much laughter. Thanks for the post, it made my day.
Oh man...
I hope they put pain killer in the water. SMACK!
Before The NBC Delete...
...which just happened, so it seems, I did see that.
On one hand, I feel for the guy because he worked for years undoubtedly to get to that very diving board and then...well...at least modern science has provided ibuprofen as well as ThermCare pads for that. Ouch. Nonetheless, I admit to chuckling at it.
Thanks for sharing that, and thanks to NBC for at least allowing a few people to see it here.

EDIT: Feel for the kid, although I haven't seen the video. Did find a couple stills, though. Anyway, he's seriously just a kid (17 years old), so it's gotta be really tough for him. Had he lived in an English-speaking country, I'm sure he'd be getting the "Feck Up" and Stephen Feckless comments all the time. I'm sure those crafty Germans will come up with their own clever insults. Hope he rebounds from this.

IOC should introduce the belly flop contest. I'd pay to see that over a million rounds of badminton.
I like it
But I also wonder, what do you medal for? Loudest flop? Reddest chest? Most "OOOOhhhh"'s induced by chest clutching audience members?
Also, I keep involuntarily finishing your posts with "de plane! de plane!" in my mind.
I really hope Stephan Feck
becomes rich and famous as a result of all this.
