The athlete behind one of the most viral fails of the Tokyo Olympics so far has responded to the world's laughter with absolute class.
Canadian diver Pamela Ware scored a 0.0 in the women's 3m springboard semi-final this week after taking a pin-drop into the aquatic centre pool.
The 28-year-old took a misstep before her planned 3.5 difficulty dive and jumped feet first into the water.

As a result, the 2013 World Aquatics Championships bronze medalist performed a pencil jump straight into the pool and scored a 0.0.
