A humorous take on a diving mishap #
His slip-up in front of the French President propelled his sport into the limelight.
Seizing this unexpected spotlight, Jandard created a humorous video for the ‘French Federation of the Lose’ where he amusingly explains ‘how to botch a dive.’
The infamous dive in front of the French President #
Remember, Alexis Jandard is part of the French Olympic team and on April 4th, his diving demonstration went awry. As the French President, Emmanuel Macron, watched, Jandard lost his balance on the diving board and fell into the pool three meters below.

But, with a strong sense of self-irony, Jandard turned this embarrassment into a moment of levity.
A funny tutorial on ‘how to botch a dive’ #
Jandard, in his new video for the ‘French Federation of the Lose’, explains the secret to a botched dive. With his trademark humor, Jandard reveals his secret ingredient to fail a dive: Marseille soap.
He then demonstrates the application of the soap under the foot, a key step in his method to ensure a failed dive.
A twist in the tale #
Following his instructions, Jandard climbs the diving board to put them into practice. But to his disappointment, the dive turns out to be perfect. Jandard blames the lack of camera and absence of the President for his ‘failure.’
He ends on a hopeful note, looking forward to the Olympics and perhaps another chance at a faux pas.
The lesson behind the humor #
