THAT'S GOOD BOMBING, SON
A man who dive-bombed an Olympic final wearing a tutu and tights is facing a police investigation.
The interloper screamed "I love you" before hurling himself off the springboard during the 3m synchronised men's diving event.
The Canadian had managed to clamber over hoardings and scale the board before officials realised what was happening.
A spokesman for the Greek Ministry of Public Order said: "He wanted to make an impression, he wanted to be famous and he said he wanted to impress his wife.
"We arrested him and he has been released and the justice will decide what to do."
The 31-year-old's stunt left competition favourites, China's Bo Peng and Wang Feng, in a state of shock.
They plunged from first place to last when one of them crashed through the pool on his back - prompting a mandatory score of zero points.
It allowed the Greek pair to sneak into first place, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
