French diver wants 'no slip-ups' at football match kick-off
French Olympic diver Alexis Jandard will take part in a ceremonial kick-off at a football game this weekend, just days after unwittingly becoming a social media sensation when he embarrassingly slipped and bounced off a diving board in front of President Emmanuel Macron.
Jandard will symbolically start the game between his boyhood club Lyon and Brest in the French top-flight on Sunday.
The 26-year-old won praise on social media for mocking his own misfortune during the inauguration of the aquatics centre for the Paris Games rather than silently retreating into a corner.
"A little message to say that you've probably seen my face on social media recently but I have a big announcement," Jandard said on Lyon's social media platforms.
"I have the honour and the immense pride, as a Lyon supporter since forever to do the ceremonial kick-off of Sunday's match.
"There needs to be noise, I want to hear everyone, especially the players, no bad slip-ups!" he added.
