Team USA diver Alison Gibson gets humiliating ZERO from Olympics judges after her feet collide midair with the board
A mishap on the 3-meter springboard at the 2024 Paris Olympics has dropped Team USA diver Alison Gibson into an unfortunate tie with Animal House's John Blutarsky.
Gibson scored a 0.0 during Wednesday's competition, matching the John Belushi character's infamous grade-point average in the 1978 comedy.
The 25-year-old native Texan was in proper tuck position on Tuesday when her feet rotated into the board, causing her to flail down to the water's surface.
Gibson was attempting to pull off an inward dive with 2.5 somersaults. Afterwards, she left the pool area in obvious frustration as she held her hands to her face.
Fortunately for Gibson, she did not suffer any injury and was able to continue competing. After four dives on Wednesday she ranked 27th out of 28 competitors.
