Olympic Men's Diving Awkward Swimming trunks
In the Olympics, the swimming trunks of male divers had caused some embarrassment or received special attention. From a design point of view, the swimming trunks of male divers were designed to be tight. On the one hand, diving was for the sake of appreciation. Diving pursued the beauty of the action. The skintight swimming trunks helped to show the athlete's figure and make the whole diving process more visually impactful. On the other hand, for the convenience of scoring, the judges needed to observe the athlete's movement completion directly. The skintight swimming trunks would not block the movement too much. In order to reduce the resistance to enter the water and achieve better results, the swimming trunks had a small contact area with the body, so the splash when entering the water was relatively small. In the 2024 Olympics, China's Long Daoyi accidentally fell off his swimming trunks and exposed his buttocks when he swam underwater in the men's synchronized 3m springboard final. The French player, Jules Bouille, became popular on the internet after a photo of him bathing with his partner by the pool was found in a super tight swimming trunks (Australia brand Buggy Smuggler). The swimming trunks were discussed enthusiastically by netizens. In addition, Aisen Chen's habitual action of pulling his swimming trunks before diving also hinted that male divers might have some unspeakable secrets about swimming trunks. All of these situations suggested that swimming trunks might be an awkward factor for male divers. While watching the Olympics, you can also read the wonderful novels related to the Olympics!
The world's worst diving failure
It was difficult to define exactly which of the many diving failures was the "worst in the world", but some were more serious. For example, a sixteen-year-old boy died of an infection after his face split open in an accident when he jumped into the water. The consequences of this incident were extremely serious. There was also the American athlete Alison who chose a move with a difficulty index of 3.0 during the first jump of the women's three-meter springboard preliminary competition. During the somersault, his feet hit the board, interrupting the whole set of movements, and he fell into the water horizontally, causing a big splash. The seven referees unanimously gave 0 points. This mistake was more serious and affected the subsequent competition results. In addition, during the opening of the Olympic Aquatics Center by French President Marron, Alexis Jandard slipped while performing the three-meter springboard event. His back fell into the water after making close contact with the springboard. It was also a failed diving incident.
