Olympic synchronized diving medalists David Boudia, Kristian Ipsen and Abby Johnston will be diving in synchro events in Kazan, but their new partners will all be competing in their first World Championships. The individual events feature a mix of veterans and newcomers as well. Here’s an event-by-event breakdown of the U.S. World Championships team. Olympic events: Men’s 10-meter Will we see a podium three-peat? The podium for this event has been identical at the past two World Championships, with USA’s David Boudia claiming the silver medal in both 2011 and 2013. China’s Qiu Bo, who finished second to Boudia at the 2012 Olympic Games, won the gold both years. Germany’s Sascha Klein was the bronze medalist in 2011 and 2013. Boudia’s medal in 2011 was the first by an American man on the event in 25 years.

Dinsmore won bronze on platform at the 2012 World Junior Championships. He advanced to the semifinals at last year’s FINA World Cup and finished 17th. He was the eighth in the prelims. Men’s 3-meter Michael Hixon will compete in his second World Championships and his first in the individual 3-meter. In his first World Championships in 2013, Hixon placed fifth in synchronized 3-meter. Hixon won bronze on 3-meter at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games and was the 2011 Junior Pan American Champion on the event. Darian Schmidt will make his World Championships debut in Kazan. This will be just his third international meet competing individually. Earlier this year, he was 17th on 3-meter at a FINA Grand Prix meet in Puerto Rico. Men’s synchronized 10-meter Veteran David Boudia won Olympic bronze in this event with Nick McCrory in 2012 and is a two-time World Championship medalist in 10-meter synchro (bronze in 2007 and silver in 2009 with Thomas Finchum). Now diving with Steele Johnson, who will be making his World Championships debut, Boudia has found fast success with his new partner. The duo won the bronze medal at last year’s FINA World Cup in their first international competition together. This year, they won silver at a FINA World Series meet in Canada. Men’s synchronized 3-meter Olympic bronze medalist Kristian Ipsen will be competing in his fourth World Championships and his first with new synchro partner Sam Dorman, who will dive in his first World Championships.

Women’s 10-meter Both Amy Cozad and Jessica Parratto will be competing in their second World Championships, and they’re looking to improve on the previous performances by advancing to the finals and securing a coveted Olympic quota spot for Team USA. Cozad advanced to the semifinals at the 2013 World Championships, where she finished 14th – just two spots out of the finals. Parratto finished 15th at the 2011 World Championships. She also competed individually at the FINA World Cup last year, improving by one spot to place 14th. Women’s 3-meter Laura Ryan and Abby Johnston will represent the U.S. on this event at the World Championships. Ryan competed individually at last year’s World Cup and advanced to the finals to finish 11th. Johnston last competed 3-meter individually at a world meet in 2010, when she was eighth at the World Cup. Women’s synchronized 10-meter Amy Cozad and Jessica Parratto will do double duty and compete in synchro as well as the individual 10-meter events. Although both have been to the World Championships before, 2015 will be the first time either has competed synchro at a World Championships. Cozad has competed 10-meter synchro at the past two FINA World Cups, including an eighth-place finish with Katrina Young last year. Women’s synchronized 3-meter Olympic silver medalist Abby Johnston and new synchro partner Laura Ryan earned the World Championships berth on 3-meter synchro after winning the title at the 2015 USA Diving Synchronized National Championships.

The activity became popular and eventually branched away from gymnastics to form a new acrobatic sport. Diving was first included in the Olympic program at the 1904 Games in St. Louis when a men’s springboard competition was held. Dr. G.E. Sheldon of the United States became the first Olympic diving champion. Men’s platform was added for the 1908 Games in London as H. Sohanssen of Sweden claimed the gold. Platform diving for women appeared at the 1912 Games, with women’s springboard added by 1920. Greta Johansson of Sweden and Aileen Riggin of the United States were the first Olympic champions for women’s platform and springboard, respectively. Synchronized diving made its Olympic debut at the 2000 Games in Sydney, Australia. The Competition the semifinals, and the top 12 from the semis will advance to the finals. For synchro events, the top 12 teams in prelims will advance to finals. The preliminaries, semifinals and finals will be scored as separate events, as scores do not carry over. In the springboard events, divers choose dives from the following five groups: forward, back, inward, reverse and twisting. For men, one dive from each must be used as required dives, with a sixth dive that may come from any group. None of the dives may be repeated. In platform diving, a sixth group, armstand, is used. Men must perform one dive from each group, and women must select five dives from different groups. The four synchronized diving events will include five rounds for women and six for men. Each pair must perform two rounds of dives with an assigned degree of difficulty regardless of the formula and three (four for men) optional dives with no limit in degree of difficulty. Divers must perform dives from five different groups of dives (i.e. forward, backward). In mixed gender synchronized events, teams will perform five dives. The World Championships will feature diving competition in 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard, 10-meter platform, 3-meter springboard synchronized and 10-meter platform synchronized, events for both men and women. The individual events will include preliminary, semifinal and final sessions, while the synchronized events are preliminary and finals only. Groups of Dives The individual events will consist of optional dives only (no limit in degree of difficulty). Women will perform five dives and men will perform six dives in each session (preliminary, semifinal and final; no semfinals in 1-meter). Back: The dive begins with the diver at the end of the board with back toward the water. The direction of rotation is away from the board. In the 1-meter events, the top 12 divers from the preliminaries will advance to the finals. In the 3-meter and 10-meter individual contests, the top 18 divers from the preliminaries will advance to Forward: The diver faces the front of the board and rotates toward the water. Dives in this group vary from the simple front dive to the extremely difficult forward four and one-half somersault. Reverse: These dives begin with the diver facing the front of the board (using a forward approach) and rotating toward the board. This group of dives were formerly called “gainers.” Inward: The diver stands on the end of the board with back toward the water and rotates toward the water (opposite of back dives). These dives were formerly called “cutaways.” Twisting: Includes any forward, back, inward or reverse dive with a twist. This group includes the greatest number of dives because of all the possible combinations. Armstand: Used only in platform diving, these dives begin with the diver assuming a handstand position on the edge of the platform before executing the dive. Body Positions Straight: This position requires that there be no bend at the waist or the knees. The arm placement is either by the diver’s choice or defined by the dive performed. Listed as “A”. Pike: Legs are straight with the body bent at the waist. Again, arm position is either decided on by the diver or dictated by the type of dive. Listed as “B”. Tuck: The body is bent at both the waist and the knees. The thighs are drawn to the chest while the heels are kept close to the buttocks. Listed as “C”. Free: This is the diver’s option of using a combination of the other three positions. The free position is only used in dives that include twists. The most common combination is straight and pike. Listed as “D”. DV 30 About Diving Judging At the beginning of a dive, a diver’s body should be straight, head erect, heels together and arms straight to the sides. Once the diver stands on the front end of the board to perform a standing dive, the judges assume the dive has begun. In judging a dive, certain parts of each dive must be analyzed and evaluated, and an overall award obtained. The parts of a dive are: Approach: In forward dives, the starting position is assumed when the diver is ready to take the first step. The forward approach must be smooth, straight and forceful. It should be comprised of no less than three steps before the hurdle (the jump to the end of the board in which both feet contact the end of the board simultaneously). If a diver takes less than three steps, the referee deducts two points from each judge’s award. Takeoff: The takeoff should be forceful and confident, show control and balance, and proceed without delay. In running dives, the takeoff from the springboard must be from both feet simultaneously. In back takeoffs, the diver is not allowed to lift his feet from the board before the actual takeoff, but may use his own method of arm swings. During a back dive, a diver is not allowed to excessively rock the board before taking off. A violation costs two points from each judge’s score. Elevation: The amount of spring or lift a diver receives from the takeoff greatly affects the appearance of the dive. Since more height means more time, a higher dive generally permits greater accuracy and smoothness of movement. If, on any dive, the diver touches the end of the board or dives to the side of the direct line of flight, the judges may deduct points at their discretion. Execution: This is the most important, as this is the dive itself. A judge watches for proper mechanical performance, technique, form and grace. Entry: The entry is very significant because it is the last element of the dive the judges see, and is probably the one they will remember best. The two criteria to be evaluated on entry are the angle, which should be near vertical, and the amount of splash, which should be as little as possible. Scoring A diving contest is conducted by a referee, seven judges (11 for synchronized events), a secretary and an announcer. The referee ensures all regulations are observed. After each dive, the referee signals to the judges. Each judge, without communicating with his colleagues, immediately flashes his award. Judges scores range from 0 to 10 and are awarded in full or half-point increments. The scores and their descriptions are as follows: 0 Completely failed 1/2 - 2 Unsatisfactory 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 Deficient 5 - 6 1/2 Satisfactory 7-8 Good 8 1/2 - 9 1/2 Very good 10 Excellent The dive is then scored in this manner: The seven scores are announced. The two highest and two lowest scores are eliminated. The remaining scores are added and then multiplied by the DD rating assigned to the dive. The DD is predetermined with a table range from 1.2 to 4.1 in one-tenth increments. For example: Awards = 6-5-5-5-5-5-4; Sum (high and low score eliminated) = 15; DD in this example = 2.0; Total score is 15 x 2.0 = 30 points. In synchronized diving, three judges score one diver as an individual, three other judges score the second diver as an individual, and the remaining five judges score the synchronization of the dive. The highest and lowest of each diver’s individual scores are eliminated, and the highest and lowest scores for synchronization are eliminated. The two remaining individual scores are then added to the three synchronization scores. The five scores are then multiplied by 0.6, and that number is multiplied by the degree of difficulty.
