Nadezha Bazhina, 28, showed off her interesting moves in the women’s 3-meter springboard preliminaries at the Rio Olympics on Friday. The 28-year-old Russian diver should be proud she made it to the Olympics, but her routine didn’t prove why she should be there.

This woman, whom we believe to be her coach, didn’t really know how to react.
Oh man.
Better luck next time, Nadezha.
