Diving competitions are events where athletes perform acrobatic jumps and flips from various heights into a pool of water. Competitors are judged based on their technique, form, and the difficulty of their dives. The most common types of diving include springboard diving and platform diving, with platforms typically set at heights of 10 meters and 5 meters. Judges score each dive on a scale, and the scores are combined to determine the winner. Olympic Games often feature diving competitions, showcasing the best divers from around the world. Safety measures, such as proper training and equipment, are essential to prevent injuries during these events.
