You decide which dives you are going to perform before the competition, in mens competition 6 dives have to be performed from the 6 different diving groups. Women have to perform 5 different dives.
Each dive has a degree of difficulty, simple dives may have a DD as low as 1.2 but the hardest dives have DD's of up to 4.1.
The diver performs the dive in front of 5-7 judges. The judges mark from 0-10 with 1/2 marks in between. when the judges have presented their scores, for example with 5 judges: 6, 6.5, 6, 7, 5.5. The lowest and highest score's are ignored to get the average 3 marks, in this case: 6, 6 & 6.5 (the 5.5 and 7 were ignored). 6,6 & 6.5 makes 18.5 this score is multiplied by the DD to give the final score of the dive. So if the dive had a DD of 1.2 then the score would be 22.2, but if the DD of the dive was 4.1, the score would be 75.85
Hope this makes sense.
Womens 10m platform diveing was introduced in the 1912 Olympics
3m Springboard is 3m 5m springboard is 5m 10m Platform is 10m
That depends on which competition he enters. There are several events. 3m platform, 10m platform, synchronised, or diving boards.
There are two diving boards used at the Olympics. One is the 3 Metre springboard; the other the 10 Metre platform.
Synchronised diving is done by 2 persons, synchronised together to attain the best results, while normal diving is done by 1 person to attain the best results.
