Diver slips during Olympic pool inauguration ceremony

The French diver Alexis Jandard slipped on a diving board during the inauguration of an Olympic swimming pool in Saint-Denis. Subscribe to Guardian Sport ► The pool and Olympic Aquatic Center was inaugurated on Thursday by the President, Emmanuel Macron, ahead of the 2024 games in Paris. “It’s a stroke of bad luck,“ Jandard told Le Parisien. “I left my DNA and there must still be a bit of my back on the board. But it’s OK, it’s just scratches. I didn’t hurt myself and that’s the most important thing. Tomorrow I’m going back to training.“ The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
