Embarrassing Moment at the Olympic Aquatics Center
An elite French diver, Alexis Jandard, faced an embarrassing moment at the grand opening ceremony of the Olympic Aquatics Center in Paris. The $160 million venue, the only permanent sports facility for the upcoming Summer Games, witnessed the mishap in front of French President Emmanuel Macron and other VIPs.

Turning Misfortune into Motivation
