The Olympics is one of those things where the failures are as, if not a teensy bit more popular than the amazing feats that are achieved.

Take it from 28-year-old Russian diver Nadezhda Bazhina, whose medal winning hopes disappeared, as her 'calamitous' dive went viral.

Bazhina lost her footing during a 3 metre springboard dive, scoring 0.0, ruining the work she'd put in on her first five dives.

She hits the water pretty hard.

The 28-year-old appeared to slip towards the left of the board, thus setting her up for a shaky entry into the water.

Her coach wasn't too impressed.

You've got to feel for her here, she was on her way to the semi-finals.
