Canadian diver Molly Carlson shared a viral TikTok showing what various Olympic sports like gymnastics, boxing and track and field would look like if they had to take place on a high dive.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if every Olympic event took place on a high dive? No? Yeah most of us probably haven't.

But one person who has is Canadian diver and TikToker Molly Carlson, and she decided to actually film a video showing what it might be like—and it is hilarious.


From gymnastics to soccer, Carlson recreated several events on a high dive at a pool, all of which of course ended with her falling into the water.

This would be dramatic 🤪🏆 #ParisOlympics

First up, a boxing bout in which Carlson gets knocked out and falls backward into the pool. Next was gymnastics, where Carlson did a balance-beam cartwheel and then backflipped into the pool.

She didn't quite stick the landing, because, you know, it was into water, but her form was great all the same!

But it's the track and field events where Carlson's methods really shone. She covered several of them, from the long jump and hurdles to shot put—which of course ended with her falling into the water because of the momentum of her throw.

Even fencing—using pool noodles, naturally—was included, as was archery, wherein Carlson of course played the arrow shooting out over the high dive into the pool.

The silly video has gone wildly viral and was even featured on France's France 2 television station, which is covering the 2024 Paris Olympic games.

On TikTok, people found Carlson's video equal parts hilarious and impressive for the effort she put into lugging all that sporting equipment up to the diving platform.

Carlson is not competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but she is in attendance. And she's a decorated diver who just placed second in the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.

Perhaps she'll be at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to launch equestrian diving or something. We look forward to it!

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
