Diving
Diving is closely linked to Gymnastics. Competitors jump head-first into a pool from a three-metre springboard or a 10-metre solid platform.

They perform a series of twists and somersaults before they hit the water.

The aim is to win as many points as possible from a panel of judges who assess each dive for difficulty and style of execution.
 
As well as individual competitions, there are also Synchronised Diving events, in which pairs of athletes dive in tandem and receive an additional mark for their level of ‘synchronisation’.
