In the Olympic diving competition, events are divided into eight medal events: one each for men's and women's 3m Springboard, 10m Platform, Synchronized 3m Springboard, and Synchronized 10m Platform.
Divers inform the judges in advance the dives they will perform. Judges award a score out of 10 for each dive, which is then multiplied by the dive's degree of difficulty. Dives are judged on four primary factors: the starting position, the take-off, the dive itself, and the entry into the water.
