Belly-flopping enthusiasts from Australia and New Zealand went head to head in an intense, splash-inducing water competition – the Belly Flop Championships. The heats show the Aussie Dugongs and the New Zealand Puku Plungers, crashing into the a pool in tense competition.
One of New Zealand’s candidates, Carl Jackson, flops in with a mammoth starfish. The commentator calls the 21-year-old swimmer’s flop “beautiful, high trajectory, flat at the point of impact”.

Next up for the Australians is “Migaloo” Straughair, also known as the Mayor of Manboobs. He hesitates at the start, but the 130kg guy dives in and comes out “a little bit red” after what the commentator calls a “quality slap”.
The last competitor for New Zealand, Bronson Steele, who says getting in the competition is the biggest achievement of his life, struts up and executes a well-honed backflip before splashing into the pool to be met with impressed cheers.

Is there nothing the Australians and to be fair in this case New Zealanders won't turn into a competitive sport?
That was a lot of fun to watch!
