Fans Realize How Dangerous Olympic Diving Is After Alison Gibson’s “Nightmare”

Team USA’s Alison Gibson scored a disastrous 0.0 on Wednesday (August 7) at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. During the preliminary round of the women’s 3m springboard, her feet collided with the board on the first dive. Moments after the launch, Alison, who was in a tucked position coming out of a somersault at that point, hit the board with her feet. 

Upon landing in the water, her performance was registered as a non-dive, The New York Post reported on Thursday (August 8).

After receiving zero points, the 25-year-old kept going and finished her remaining four dives with as much composure as she could muster, but she still finished last, marking the end of her Olympic journey, NBC Olympics reported on Wednesday.
