Divers making weird faces in midflight

TheFW has gathered together a gallery of striking photos of Olympic divers' faces, captured in midflight by various photographers working for Getty Images. It turns out that divers make some pretty weird faces.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Wow, I think that’s the first time this year that I’ve guffawed that hard .

They’re copying a meme-ish compilation of same that’s been floating around for a year or three. Can’t find it now because of…this one.

Ah…if you can find a decent link to the page, it was from the 2011 FINA championships.
