     At the Sydney Olympics in 2000 there were eight diving events for men and women. In these
events, individual and synchronised competitors performed a set number of compulsory and
voluntary dives, each of which was given a point score.
Platform
     The platform is a non-bending board 10m high-the same height as a three-storey building.
Springboard

	On the 3m springboard divers need agility (灵活) and timing. They use the flex of the board to attain maximum spring. Judges Seven judges give each dive a score out of ten A dive is judged on the approach, take-off, elevation, execution (完成) of movements and entry into the water. Scoring The highest and lowest scores are eliminated and the remaining five are totalled. The number is multiplied by the degree of difficulty rating
	assigned to each dive. This total is then multiplied by 0.6 to give the final score. Competition When there are more than 16 competitors, a preliminary competition is held. The eight divers with the most points qualify for the final. Types of Dives There are six different groups of dives. Forward, backward, reverse and inward dives involve rotating (旋转) in different directions
	relative to the board and the starting position. Twisting includes any dive with a twist. Armstand dives begin with a handstand position on the edge of the platform. Body Position Tuck-The body is bent at the waist and knees, the thighs are drawn to the chest while the heels are close to the buttocks (臀部). Pike-The legs are straight with the body bent at the waist. The arm position is dictated by the particular dive.

    Straight-No bending at the waist or knees is permitted.
    Free-The free position is only used in dives that include twists.
Synchronised Diving
     Pairs of divers perform a combination of dives at the same time. Nine judges award points
with four judges rating the execution of the dive and five judges assessing the synchronisation of
the two divers.
