Platform diving is a competitive aquatic sport where athletes perform acrobatic maneuvers while diving from a raised platform, typically at heights of 5, 7.5, or 10 meters. Divers are judged based on their technique, execution, and the difficulty of their dives, with scores awarded by a panel of judges. The sport requires a combination of strength, flexibility, and precision, as divers must enter the water with minimal splash. Platform diving is featured in major competitions, including the Olympic Games and the FINA World Championships, showcasing the skills of divers from around the world.
