Diving at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 10 metre platform

The men's 10 metre platform diving competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo will be held in 2021 at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.[1] It will be the 27th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Olympic Games since the 1904 Summer Olympics.

Men's 10 metre platform at the Games of the XXXII Olympiad
Venue	Tokyo Aquatics Centre
Date	TBC

Competition format

The competition will be held in three rounds:[2]

• Preliminary round: All divers perform six dives; the top 18 divers advance to the semi-final.
• Semi-final: The 18 divers perform six dives; the scores of the qualifications are erased and the top 12 divers advance to the final.
• Final: The 12 divers perform six dives; the semi-final scores are erased and the top three divers win the gold, silver and bronze medals accordingly.

Within each round of six dives, one dive must be from each of the six groups (forward, back, reverse, inward, twisting, and armstand). Each dive is assigned a degree of difficulty based on somersaults, position, twists, approach, and entry. There is no limit to the degree of difficulty of dives; the most difficult dives calculated in the FINA rulebook (reverse 4 ​¹⁄₂ somersault in pike position and armstand reverse 4 somersault in pike position) are 4.8, but competitors could attempt more difficult dives. Scoring is done by a panel of seven judges. For each dive, each judge gives a score between 0 and 10 with 0.5 point increments. The top two and bottom two scores are discarded. The remaining three scores are summed and multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give a dive score. The six dive scores are summed to give the score for the round.[2]

The top 1 diver at each of the 5 continental championships earned a spot (excluding divers who earned a spot at the World Championships and divers from NOCs that had already earned two spots). Additional quota places go to the next best finishers in the 2020 FINA World Cup (with the same limitations) until the maximum number of divers is reached. Divers must be at least 14 years old by the end of 2020 to compete.[3]
