83. Diving – News Reports, Sydney Results, Ancient Origins, Olympic History, Atlant When diving reached the olympic Games in 1908, it began as a graceful additionto the programme, points being awarded for elegance and style. http://www.times-olympics.co.uk/communities/dive/diveancient.html

ANCIENT ORIGINS SYNCHRONICITY TAKES THE PLUNGE Historians believe that diving dates back to the ancient Games of Greece. A 2,500-year-old tomb in Naples shows a man diving from a platform, possibly a cliff or rock. High diving off cliffs, as made famous by those who leapt from great heights into the sea of Acapulco, predates the sport of diving that developed in the 17th century, when gymnasts in Sweden and Germany practised over water at the beach for safety, attracting large crowds. Eventually, such gymnastic training developed into what was known as "fancy diving", a term still used when the sport came to the Olympic Games in 1904 in the form of a plunge and swim under water. In Britain in the 17th century, diving competitions were held in which rivals plunged into ponds and rivers, a dangerous pastime for man and duck. When diving reached the Olympic Games in 1908, it began as a graceful addition to the programme, points being awarded for elegance and style.

84. 2004 Olympics--Diving And Synchronized Diving From WWA olympic diving and Synchronized diving info, aticles, links and results from WWA. http://www.worldwideaquatics.com/olympics/aboutdiving.htm

Read about Synchronized Diving HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF DIVING By Dr. Ron O'Brien, U.S. Diving National Technical Director The origin of fancy diving goes as far back as the 17th century in connection with the great gymnastic movement in Germany and Sweden. In the summertime, gymnasts moved their equipment to the beaches, and acrobatics over the water became a part of their activities. Diving, then, is more related to gymnastics than to swimming. However, since swimming and diving both use a water medium, they have naturally become linked. Platform diving (33 feet high) achieved international notice in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis when it was included as an event on the men's swimming program. Springboard diving was added for the 1908 Games in London. Women's diving was slower in being accepted. It was not until 1912 that plain high diving was included in the Olympics, and 1920 that the first women's springboard contest was conducted. Fancy high diving for women came into being in 1928 internationally. As could be expected, Germany and Sweden dominated the early competition. It wasn't until 1920 that the United States reached worldwide prominence in diving by winning three of the gold medals in the Olympics (men's and women's springboard and men's platform events). From that time through 1992, the United States has been the world leader in diving. The total count is 46 of 75 Olympic gold medals for the United States.

Home News Diving Facilities ... Party History of Diving Introduction The history of competitive diving spans roughly 100 years. During this period the nature of diving has changed dramatically. 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.

Two Olympiads later, in 1912, the same year Los Angeles Times columnist Owen Bird nicknamed USC's athletic teams the Trojans, USC freshman Fred Kelly won the university's first gold medal, for the 110-meter high hurdles, and launched an unprecedented winning streak for USC.

During the 1800s diving headfirst into the water to swim became popular, and a sport called plunging developed. Participants would plunge from the side of a pool or dock or any other high point above the water, hold their breath, and glide beneath the water for as far as possible. From 1893 to 1937, plunging championships were held, and the plunge was an event at the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, Missouri.

The new full-body swimsuits had little impact at the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials, according to an IU exercise physiologist who has studied them stagerj@indiana.edu Fan expectations at the Olympics take on added significance for Americans, according to IU social psychologist Edward Hirt. "Expectations are so high in this country in some Olympic sports that anything less than a gold medal is perceived as failure," Hirt said. "Can you imagine the reaction if the first Dream Team in basketball had not won? What will happen if the women's soccer team doesn't bring home a gold medal or at least play very well in Sydney?" Hirt has done research on how fans' self-esteem rises and falls with a favorite team's winning or losing. He said a major difference in this area at the Olympics involves nationality.

Some are obvious - like Cathy Freeman's golden run in Sydney and Muhammad Ali's lighting of the cauldron in Atlanta. Others are a matter of personal preference. Athens was no different. In almost every sport there were memories to cherish. From the feats of Ian Thorpe Michael Phelps and Jodie Henry in the pool to unforgettable victories by Kelly Holmes and Hicham El Guerrouj on the track, every winner had a story to tell. And so did most of the losers. Losers like Jana Pittman , Wilson Kipketer and Alex Popov, who weren't losers at all, but were winners without gold medals. For the Greeks, these Games were a triumph. Not because they were the best ever, but because in the main, they went without a hitch. Because, despite the doubters, they opened on schedule, and because - perhaps against all odds in today's world - for a little more than two weeks they recaptured the spirit of the ancient Olympics. The centrepiece of these Games was the thoroughly modern stadium with its Santiago Calatrava-designed roof.

Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude  well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.
