American diver Chelsea Davis was attempting a 2½ somersault in the preliminary round of the World Diving Championships in Montreal on Friday when she slammed face-first into the board.
Davis, 17, tumbled into the pool as blood streamed from her nose and US coaching staff jumped to her aid.
However, despite the dramatic incident that shocked spectators and left several of them close to tears, Davis was still considered likely to compete in the 3m synchronised event this week.

It's likely that the board was pushed out, ever so slightly, by some stealthy, Celine Dion, Anne Murray and Bryan Addams listenin, Maple-leaf salutin, Kids in the Hall watchin, Wayne Gretzky worshipin, beady-eyed, flappy-headed Canadian.
I know it may be considered a form of profiling, but you just can't trust Canadians.
They're a little 'too' nice.
