#1 Every judge gave JD Pahoyo a perfect zero.

JD Pahoyo, a 17-year-old diver from the Philippines, got a 0.0 score on a dive in the 3-meter individual springboard competition at the Southeast Asian Games in Singapore. His countryman and synchronized diving partner John Elmerson Fabriga also got 0.0 on a dive. They finished last and second-to-last in the competition.

Video of the two failed dives quickly made its way around the internet, often under the headline of something like "the worst dives you'll ever see."

#2 Pahoyo landed feetfirst

Before the dive went viral, Pahoyo wrote a very matter-of-fact update on how bad he was:

This was the first time I felt this great intense pressure. Hooo, one event is over. One more to go. I failed one dive and the rest of my dives were sh------ than what i did during the training. But at least it was a nice experience. Great crowd, great people. I can actually tell myself that i overcame the extraordinary.
