The Most Outrageous & Perfectly Timed Photos in Sports!

Maximum Athletic Effort

Being an Olympic athlete takes technique, strength, and perfect technique, as shown by this Chinese diver Qin Kai during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Some may be taken aback by his cartoonish facial expression, but it’s a testament to the technique he’s using and the speed of his tumbles.

Olympic diving is judged around the difficulty and the execution of a dive and the form a diver shows during the execution. This all culminates in a splash less entry into the water, which is the perfect cap off to a perfect dive and a great score from the judges.
