It was the most anticipated event of the Games: the 10m platform diving final – Dr Eggman v Princess Peach v Bowser.

 All the bookies were betting on Princess Peach to blow the field away, she had barely made a splash in her previous dives. Dr Eggman was a chance, but was still an outsider. And finally Bowser, regarded as the worst ever diver to ever compete, was a laughing stock! People were telling him to just give up and withdraw from the event.

 Bowser was first up, people started laughing. He jumped up, no twists, no turns, he started falling down.

“Oh, no!” people gasped – he was going to land stomach first…….BOOM!!!! There was a massive splash. People outside thought that World War 3 had started. He was given a 2 for jumping and a 3 for landing in the pool.

 Dr Eggman was next up. He came to the edge of the board; he steadied himself, and jumped. He soared into the air and …. Moments later there was a big crash! Everyone looked up to the roof, and there was Dr Eggman, stuck in it! It took 5 minutes until he fell back into the pool. Then the judges scores came through: 2 points for jumping and 3 points for landing in the pool (eventually) but was deducted 2 points for wasting the judges time – this meant that Bowser was in the lead!

 The excitement was short-lived though – Princess Peach was about to have her turn …. She was grinning! Her smile went ear to ear. There was a sense of expectation from the crowd. She wanted to win, she had to win, and …. She didn’t win!

 She was a shambles! She completely missed the pool, and landed on the judges table with a huge THUD!!!!! She was howling and cried a river of tears and soon the spectators knew why: 4 points for an amazing dive, but no extra points (she hadn’t actually landed in the pool, after all!).  A total score of 4 points.

 The winner was Bowser and so ends one of the greatest upsets in Olympic Diving history!
