The Cutest Male Olympic Athletes of 2012: #2 - Alexandre Despatie

A 27 year old Canadian diver. Despatie began diving at the age of 5 in his own backyard pool. He was the World champion at the 1 and 3 m springboards from 2005 to 2007 and is the first, and so far only, diver to have been World champion in the three categories (1, 3 and 10 m platform). He is also a 37-time Canadian senior diving champion, and 9-time junior champion.

Despatie suffered a head laceration and concussion when he struck his head on the springboard while practicing an inward 3 ½ June 12 at a training camp in Spain. The contact was at his hairline and left him with a four-inch gash that required stitches. His status for the Games was initially in jeopardy, but he returned to the pool in late June and has since confirmed his participation. Alexandre returned to perform well in London Olympic, placing 6th in Men’s Synch. 3m Springboard - Final and 11th Men’s 3m Springboard.
