At the London Games, Diving requires acrobatic excellence and supreme coordination skills, as athletes dive from heights of up to 10m into the waters below.

Athletes compete individually and in pairs (synchronised diving, or ‘synchro’). Individual events consist of a preliminary round, semi-final and final, while the synchro competitions are straight finals.

Styles of diving include front, back, reverse, inward, twist and armstand, with points awarded according to technique and grace. The more difficult the dive the higher the points it can score if executed well.

Judges must also take into account starting positions, run-ups, take-offs, flight and entry into water (which should be perpendicular and cause as little splash as possible).

Each of the seven judges score dives out of 10 and the athlete with the highest total is the winner. The two highest and two lowest scores are discarded and the remaining three scores are added together and multiplied by the difficulty tarrif (of which there are five levels) to give a final score.

Athletes must also be 14 by the end of an Olympic year to able to compete at London 2012. Such a rule means diving has one of the lowest age restrictions of all Olympic sports and allowed a 14-year-old Tom Daley to compete at the 2008 Beijing Games. Age restrictions are placed to ensure that young divers do not attempt to jump from heights which they are not capable of.
