A diver's belly flop at the 2022 Commonwealth Games prompted gasps from the watching crowd and sympathy from the TV commentators.
Sri Lankan diver Dulanjan Kaushalya Fernando endured an unfortunate landing into the pool in the men's one-metre springboard preliminary, mistiming a 2.5 somersault tuck to enter the pool horizontally. He was left gasping for air after landing on his front.
His dive was met with plenty of gasps and "ooooh"s as he hit the water, including from former GB athlete Leon Taylor in the commentary booth. "Just showing us how difficult this dive is and how difficult diving is," the 2002 silver medal winner said amid a small chuckle, before adding: "That's lucky it's on the one metre because he's winded."
