It was a jaw-dropping performance.

Former NHLer Nigel Dawes, a Canadian-born forward playing for Kazakhstan at the World Championship in Russia, took a two-minute diving penalty for this display Tuesday.

Norway beat Kazakhstan 3-2, but at least Dawes is going home with a medal. The diving competition at this year's Worlds is over, and Dawes is clearly the winner. Thanks to everyone who participated.
