Russian Ilya Zakharov won a gold and silver medal at the 2012 Olympics, so he had high expectations heading into Tuesday's men's three-meter springboard diving competition.

While not necessarily expected to win another gold medal, Zakharov was expected to at least contend for the podium.

He certainly was not expected to do this.

Zakharov scored a zero on that absolute disaster of a dive, which caused him to finish dead last in the semifinal and end his Olympics on the lowest note possible.
