PARIS—French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday praised the diver who embarrassingly crashed into the water in front of the head of state during the inauguration of the Olympic pool, while quipping that he “felt bad for your butt.”
After the mishap he took to social media to mock his own misfortune and then made clear he was targeting a podium place this summer, winning widespread praise. “I felt bad for your butt and your lower back, if I may say so,” a smiling Macron told Jandard during their exchange.Jandard, performing a synchronised routine on the 3 metre board with two other divers during the ceremony, lost his footing while jumping, landed painfully on the board on his back and bottom and then splashed into the water.
A beaming Jandard said that from the point of view of promoting the “wonderful” swimming pool in the aquatics centre, his mission was a “success.”
