This springboard bellyflop is the real highlight of the Rio Olympics
Is this a highlight? Or a lowlight? Is it a bellyflop? Or a face-flop?
Either way, our hearty thanks to Malaysia's Ahmad Amsyar Azman, who sacrificed his body to deliver a memorable Olympics moment with a gold-medal springboard fail in Rio de Janeiro.
Just like we told you, diving events are always good for some fun sports-watching. Now, behold Azman's corkscrewing plunge in the 3-meter preliminaries.
