In a surprising moment at the Paris 2024 Olympics, American diver Alison Gibson received a score of 0.0 after her feet collided with the diving board during her women’s 3-meter springboard preliminaries. This mishap on her first dive prevented her from completing the maneuver correctly.
Despite her experience as a two-time Olympian, Gibson struggled to recover and finished 28th overall, with her highest score being just 22.20 points. Neither she nor her teammate Sarah Bacon advanced to the semi-finals.
Fortunately, Gibson did not suffer any injuries and continued competing. She left the pool area in frustration, marking the first zero score in the ongoing Paris Olympics. Despite the setback, Gibson’s resilience and determination remain strong as she looks forward to future competitions.
