There's no pool below. Sam Fricker steps onto a springboard inside a training gym, bounces for height and launches into twists and somersaults above a pit of foam blocks.

His Short, titled "Sam Fricker diving", drew an estimated 76,000 views in its first day, roughly eight times his usual start for the format. The straightforward title gives little away: this is diving practice with a very different landing surface.

Fricker, who represented Australia at the Tokyo Olympics, keeps the clip focused on the movement. There's no spoken explanation, just background music as he builds momentum, takes off and completes his rotations before dropping into the foam. One commenter picks out how thoroughly the blocks swallow him up.

It's a change from the paired, poolside routines featured in his earlier uploads: the springboard remains, but the splash is replaced by a soft disappearance.
