'I fell 10 metres on to concrete'

Sportsworld

Available for over a year

One event can change your life forever - and that certainly applies to Canadian diver and model Maxim Bouchard. In 2010, two years after retiring from professional diving, Bouchard competed in an event in the Philippines. The board collapsed under his feet, Bouchard fell 10 metres on to the concrete floor and was told one of his arms was paralysed for life. In 2015, he's back diving and ready to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
