This is the moment French diver Alexis Jandard slipped during the inauguration of an Olympic aquatics centre in Paris.

The ceremony was attended my French President Emmanuel Macron.

The 26-year-old athlete later took to social media to share a picture of his back after hitting the board.

Most people probably never heard of him until now. Good PR

Diver speaking to tattoo artist: "Yes I'd like to get an Olympic tattoo. I've been invited as an athlete and will be in the opening ceremony and I'd like a permanent reminder of the legacy I'm about to build"

I hope the poor fellow is ok. People are heartless! It could happen to anyone! That looked painful on his back!

Even when they slip, it is acrobatry.

OOps, I hope he's OK. At least there was no green algae in the pool! Vive La France, love from across The Channel.

Gotta love the musical score with all the crows cawing while he slips.

At least it wasn't a competition where it ended his chances.

Perfect allegory of the whole organisation of those olympics.
It will be an humiliation for France.

Imagine all the things in the world we could be focusing on and we watch men slipping on a board. How lost
