Diving is about strength, flexibility, technique and grace. Hey! Welcome to watchmojo.com. Today, we will be looking at the sport of diving.
Diving is classified as an art as well as a sport. Beauty and grace must be added to feats of strength and agility while the body is moving through the air. The diver must have total body control.
Most diving competitions consist of three disciplines; 1 meter, 3 meter, and tower, also known as a Platform. Competitive athletes are divided by gender and often by age groups as well. 1 and 3 meter dives are performed from a springboard, 5 through 10 meter dives are performed from concrete or wooden platforms.
Diving is an international recognized sport that is part of the Olympic Games. In addition, unstructured and non-competitive diving is a common recreational pastime in places where swimming is popular.
In recent past, the success of Greg Louganis led to American strength internationally. More recently, the greatest diving nation has been China, which came to prominence several decades ago when the sport was revolutionized by National Coach Liang Boxi.
