AMERICAN diver Alison Gibson was awarded a score of 0.0 after her feet hit the board during her routine at the Olympic Games.
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.
The USA athlete competed in the 3m springboard preliminaries in Paris on Wednesday as she looked to book her place in the semi-finals.
She ended up finishing last out of the 28 participants with a score of 198.30.
But her fate was all but sealed on the very first of her five dives when she failed to score any points after colliding with the board.
Texas-born Gibson, 25, bounced off the board and proceeded to perform the inward 2½ somersaults in the pike position.
However, as her initial bounce did not propel her far enough, her feet ended up striking the board on the way down.
Team USA diver Alison Gibson was left in tears after scoring 0.0 in the 3-meter springboard at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Gibson scored a 0.0 during Wednesday’s competition after her feet rotated into the board, causing an unsavory entry into the water.

Video spends one minute talking about a news event that should only take 20 seconds and shows no videos! Don't click on this clickbait! Garbage
FFS instagram is for pictures, youtube is for videos
Forgot to take banned drugs?
I salute her courage to continue after this painful dive. Stay strong 💪
Why do none of these videos actually show the fucking dive. We don't need you talking over it
She finished 27 out of 28 OF THE BEST DIVERS IN THE WORLD … Alison Gibson you are awesome!!! You are seriously one of the best in the world.
Giving her straight zeros was unfair. I would have just given her a low score for the effort and being able to resurface from a high diving board.
Alison that is just one bad dive , don't let that interfere with the important things in life
The Sun web page shows the video if you really want want to see it. Not sure why youtube is not running it.
waste of time, Mix News sucks.
Won't subscribe here for sure, ever. Bye
So sick of these scrub accounts making videos where they just show pictures and flood youtube with these useless videos and make it impossible to find the video youre looking for.
Why are there no videos on this, yet there's hundreds on dudes junk knocking off the bar on pole vault.
So this is what happens when divers skip a after dive shower.
She’s a badass!!! Alison, GOD always gives you double the blessings for your troubles!! The best is yet to be!!
Imagine all the time and money wasted on her to perform a worse dive than the worst amateur you could imagine. They could have sent a 200lb middleschooler that would have done better than her. Hopefully, they immediately booked her a ticket back to the US after this so she could have her head in shame after such a monumental embarrassment. She better never even look at a swimming pool for the remainder of her life.
This is why you watch YouTube. For the still photos.
Omg…
My heart goes out to you sweetheart….
So brave and proud of you for continuing
Lame channel. Just show the video!!!!
zooming in and out of photos does not make a video.
