During the Olympics I saw this headline: Video of Worst Dive Ever!! So I had to check it out. Here it is:

So, worst dive ever huh? What I see is a crazy spinning twirly jump through the air, that just happened to end with the diver doing a back flop, instead of diving into the water. So the guy messed up. Big Deal! I wouldn't exactly label it as the 'worst dive ever.' It is twenty times better than 99.993% of the world's population, but because he didn't do it PERFECTLY the media labeled it as 'worst dive you'll ever see.' Imagine how many little swimmers' dreams have now been crushed by the fact that their pool-diving is worse than the 'worst dive ever'.... Pathetic.
