Springboard diving is a competitive aquatic sport where divers perform acrobatic maneuvers while jumping off a flexible board. The board, typically 1 meter or 3 meters above the water, allows divers to gain height and perform twists and flips before entering the water. Divers are judged based on their technique, execution, and the difficulty of their dives. Points are awarded for factors such as the approach, takeoff, aerial performance, and entry into the water. Springboard diving is featured in events like the Olympics and requires a combination of strength, flexibility, and precision.
