Aim of the game
Divers jump into a pool from a platform or springboard, performing intricate acrobatic manoeuvres that are marked by judges – the winner is the diver who scores the most point
Why should you watch this?
You will witness a stunning display of daring grace and agility as the world’s best divers come together for South America’s first Olympic competition
Venues
-
Approach
The steps taken by the diver before assuming the diving position
-
Entry
Moment at which the diver enters the water, creating as little splash as possible
-
Height
The highest point reached by the diver during the manoeuvre
Dives
Men must perform six dives and women five. Athletes’ scores are based on: starting position, approach, height, flight and entry into the water, along with synchronisation in the synchronised competitions.
The hands and arms, stretched out above the head, must be the first parts of the body to enter the water in dives with a head-first entry; in feet-first entries, the diver must pierce the water with outstretched toes.
Scoring
Seven judges score the individual events, while 11 judges score the synchronised events. Scores range from 0 to 10, but the highest and lowest scores are discarded. The remaining scores are added together and multiplied by the degree of difficulty of the dive.
Every movement is analysed in minute detail and any error can result in the loss of points. The silhouette formed by the athlete’s movement is assessed by the judges: the more modeled, the higher the score.
Pool
Jets of clean water are shot into the pool to ensure that the surface is clearly visible to divers.
Kit
Men wear trunks and women use swimming costumes.
