Competitive Diving is one of the most prestigious, competitive, drama-filled diving events at the Summer Games. The sport developed from gymnastics in the 18th century, when gymnasts in Sweden and Germany began to perform acrobatic somersaults and twists into the water. Originally, it was known as ‘fancy diving’.
