Smile-Worthy Olympic Moments

#37: Hang in There

We’re 99.2% sure he’s just diving, but it would be easy to mistake this snapshot for weight lifting… himself. The London 2012 Olympics provided a treasure trove of funny photos, but this is our personal favorite. The diving events that year took place in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at the London Aquatic Centre, which was designed by Zaha Hadid.

Built specifically for the 2012 London Games starting in 2008, it opened in March of 2014 for public use, and hosted the European Aquatics Championships in 2016. It cost €269 million to build and had a capacity of 17,500 for the games, though it can only hold 2,500 people now, due to major modifications before reopening.
