Junior divers now routinely perform dives once banned at the Olympic Games. A report following the IV Olympiad suggested elimination of the double somersault, because it was believed that a diver could not control the execution without risk of injury! At the World Masters Championships , women in the 50-59 age group springboard competition are currently required to do 8 dives - the same number as the women athletes in the Olympics of 1948. Gold medallist, Dorothy Poynton of the USA, performing a swan dive in the 1932 Olympics Diving originated from people amusing themselves by jumping and diving from natural features (rocks and cliffs) or from structures built for other purposes (piers and bridges); early swimming and diving clubs were based on ponds. In particular, travellers reported amazing feats performed by natives diving from the cliffs in Acapulco, Mexico and in Hawaii. Origins of competitive diving In the early nineteenth century, the only 'dive' was a simple plunge, similar to that used by swimmers. The diver springs from the bathside and aims to travel as far as possible under water. In Britain National Plunging Championships were held from 1883 to 1937 - but continue to this day in Yorkshire.

The first of the modern games was held in Athens, Greece in 1896. Amazing facts about the games In ancient times only free males were allowed to participate in the games.
