Synchronized 3m Springboard Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
Each team competed against the other over the course of a single round, which included six dives. Divers from various teams performed each dive (forward, back, reverse, inward, and twisting).
Both of the beginner dives were assigned the same difficulty rating of 2.0. Somersaults, location, twists, approach, and entry were used to determine the difficulty levels of the last four dives.
Dive difficulty was not capped, and even the most difficult dives (a reverse 4.5 somersault in the pike position and a back 4.5 somersault in the pike position) were allowed to be attempted.
Eleven judges tallied the scores, five for judging the synchronisation and three for judging the divers’ individual execution. Each judge scored each dive from 0 to 10, in increments of 0.5.
The highest and lowest synchronisation and execution marks for each diver were disregarded. Dive scores were calculated by adding the last five scores, multiplying the result by 35, and then multiplying that result by the difficulty rating.
The overall score was calculated by adding the points from each of the six dives.
Wang Zongyuan and Xie Siyi won the men’s 3 metre synchronised springboard to give China its third diving gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics. They had previously lost the crown to Great Britain in Rio.
