French Olympic diver Alexis Jandard was seen taking an awkward fall on his diving board at the inaugural ceremony of the newly built Paris Olympics Aquatic Centre.
The ceremony took place on Thursday with French president Emmanuel Macron in attendance to open the £154million (€180m) purpose-built Aquatics Centre - which is situated near to the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.
The 26-year-old diver, who has qualified for the 2024 Olympics, was seen in a video preparing to somersault into the pool with two other athletes as part of the celebrations.
Jandard, who won silver in the Team Event alongside Jade Gillet at the World Aquatics Championships in 2022, was seen bouncing up and down on his board before landing awkwardly on his right foot.
He subsequently appeared to lose his balance and fell backwards onto his lower back.
