A kind of headfirst dive in which the diver touches his feet with his hands while keeping his legs straight, and then straightens out again before touching the water. 4, record 2, English, - jack%2Dknife%20dive
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The expression is usually said of a whole dive, not only of the flight portion of a dive. In competition, such a dive would be called first by the group of dive (forward, backward, reverse, inward, twist, or armstand jack-knife dive), followed by the position in flight, "pike position." 5, record 2, English, - jack%2Dknife%20dive
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
In a swimming start, a jackknife is a fault: the summer's feet touch the water first, before the hands, and a flat landing usually follows, both resulting from a bad arm swing or a high-angle push on the starting block. 5, record 2, English, - jack%2Dknife%20dive

Le saut de carpe ou hussarde [...] consiste à plier le corps en deux après le départ du tremplin, [...] l'extrémité des mains [touche] la partie inférieure des jambes, [...] le corps se détend, se redresse et opère son entrée normale dans l'eau. 5, record 2, French, - saut%20de%20carpe
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'une ou l'autre expression se dit de l'ensemble d'un plongeon et non de la position adoptée pendant la portion aérienne d'un plongeon. En compétition, un tel saut serait identifié du groupe de plongeon d'abord (plongeon avant, ~ arrière, ~ renversé, ~ retourné, ~ avant avec vrille(s), ~ en appui tendu), suivi de «position carpée», la position en vol. 4, record 2, French, - saut%20de%20carpe
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Dans l'usage, on dit «un carpé» (nom masc.), le terme se disant du plongeon même ou de la position carpée qu'adopte le plongeur en cours de vol. 4, record 2, French, - saut%20de%20carpe
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 3 OBS
En natation, une entrée carpée est une erreur dans un plongeon de départ : les pieds du nageur touchent l'eau avant que le reste du corps n'y accède, ce qui ralentit son élan et provoque une entrée claquée (un plat). Cela est souvent dû au fait que le nageur a amorcé sa poussée alors que son corps était encore trop droit sur le bloc. 4, record 2, French, - saut%20de%20carpe
