Elegant Olympic dives fly by in a matter of seconds. Because of that, it’s hard to know what to look for when you try to judge the sport from your couch. One thing that’s easy to see, though? The splash.
If you’ve watched any Olympics diving coverage, you may have noticed that the splashes athletes make are tiny. Divers spend years training to perform with minimal splash, in the same way that gymnasts train to stick their landings.
In this video, Team USA’s head diving coach Drew Johansen explains the three major components he uses to guide his athletes towards smaller splashes: the above water position, the underwater swim, and the underwater pike.
And while the sport of diving isn’t all about getting splashes, a small splash is the perfect punctuation to a job well done.

Exactly, it is a no dive if the hands aren't the first and only point to enter the water first. One diver in the synchronised landed hands and feet, under rotated, and even though his partner was near perfect they scored zeros. Not the splash but the entry, as huge slashes have scored so long and hands enter first. I mean obviously if you enter wrong there a huge splash, but as they pointed out there is no specific rule about the splash it just falls under the aesthetics of the dive and execution.

the boards have a very gritty texture on the surface, but with the amount of force you are putting on the board and the board back on to you, if your body is a little too far off center in any direction you can still slip somewhat easily. it happens more at highschool level as the boards aren’t replaced as often as a college/uni would, so the grit wears down more.

They scratched the dive because she didn’t complete what she said she would. You choose the dives you are doing well before the competition starts, and there is no changing it. If you see you will do a reverse one and a half, you won’t get points for a reverse flip or a reverse double. You have to do the dive listed.

Nothing else even comes close. The incredible, precision timing, body tuck, angular momentum generation, and then the final entry into the water is beyond unbelievably awesome. However I never realized the additional precision work that goes into the actual entry and post entry into the water to minimize the surface splash. WOW!

@@bea8861 It is certainly part of Vox's anti-china propoganda since 2017. All of the perfect dives ever but one in international events were performed by Chinese divers, and yet the only Chinese dives featured in this video is a failed dive and a below average one (in fact, the worst dive from her in that final). It is like a video talking about how to shoot 3 pointers in basteball perfectly, and showing footages of DeAndre Jordan making threes as postive examples and Steph Curry sliped at the dunk attempt and shot an air ball from the corner afterwards in staples center as a negative example. Not mentioning the techinique to minimize the splash are discovered by Chinese coaches back in the days. The same "non-obvious" double-standards were featured in many Vox's videos since 2017. Honestly I feel sad for the American general public, they have no ideas about what is really going on in China because of this propagandas, while most of the ordinary Chinese know exactly what is going on in the US. If the day that two giants clash together comes (hopefully not), the Americans would suddenly realize how "arrogant" they had been this whole time.

Wow I just became way more interested in the high jump. I had no idea it took this much effort to make a small splash.

I always wondered the importance of showing the divers under the surface but now I know.

@trueredlucky954 2 жыл бұрын

No because straight hands would cut the water until it reaches the head where the airbubble produced will be bigger, by cupping the hands you create a small opening for the head and torso to pass throug that will reduce the splash, allso, diving with straight hands makes the head take allot of the impact from the water which can hurt quite a bit. In cliff diving breaking the surface with your hands is important to not dammage the head.
