19 Pictures That Prove That Diving Is The Funniest Sport In The Olympics

I'm not sure if anyone else felt this way, but I got a lot more joy than I expected from the Olympics this year. Before they started, I thought that they should have just cancelled them- skipped 2020 and moved them to 2024, which will hopefully be a safer time- but I am very glad they didn't.

Sure, it was weird watching the athletes compete with masks, and without crowds. But it really gave a sense of unity for the world--and a hope that we will all get through this.

Social media has been abuzz with Olympics content, but did you catch these divers?
