VIDEO: Filipino divers land painfully during SEA Games splash

The ongoing SEA Games saw a bunch of memorable moments and record breaking events. Not only do people remember the great ones, they also remember the terrible ones. A certain incident went viral across Singapore and then throughout South East Asia.

During the diving event, two Filipino athletes named John Elmerson Fabriga and John David Pahoyo performed poorly in the competition and that costed them zero points for their landing as they landed on their back. We know that athletes go through a tough time in training but seemed like it was not the perfect day for the two Johns.

Just when people thought Fabriga had embarrassed himself to the fullest, his friend ended up doing the same thing. As always, friends never let each other do silly things alone.

Despite the failure to land perfectly, the two managed to sit and laughed together.

Here’s the video:

They dived as if nobody was watching them.
