*Bing bong! Wouyld all athletes taking part in the skating high dive please report to the pool now.*
Oooh *excited* That'll be me!
*Straightens tutu and re-ties laces on ice skates.*
How do I look?

*Grim faced makes way to ladder for topmost board which has been specially frozen for the occasion. Climbs hand over fist with very wobbly ankles.*
It's quite high up here.

*Slowly stands upright on the iced board and tries not to have arms like windmill sails in a hurricane. Gathers composure.*
Compose yourself Vestie. You've done this before. Remember the sequence, toe loop, spin, triple lutz, bounce, arms like a swallow, tuck, double twist, jacknife, straighten tutu and lance into the water with nary a splash.
*Hush settles over the crowd except for the noise of popcorn being chewed. Begins to move forward*
This is it!
*Gathers speed, drops toe of skate to start toe loop, toe of skate catches in previous contestant bikini top that accidentally fell off while performing the double salko. Loses balance, foot shuddering series of toe steps leading to forward lunge towards the edge of the board.
At this point it is probably worth pointing out that the company employed to freeze the board had accidentally placed one of their freezer elements in the pool - which now has a 10cm thick skin of ice.
Vestie performs a variety of body bends, spins and twists while maintaining a very professional smile. Straightens tutu just in time to crash through the ice into the pool - resulting splash is sufficient to fill the popcorn boxes of everyone present.
Now blue, Vestie swims and skates to the side and pulls himself out. Sits on one of the diving boxes and waits patiently, chin on hands, for the results from the judges.

*Removes tutu and straightens vest*
Starts to undo laces on skates while hopefully looking up for next score.
