The defined height of an Olympic diving platform is 10 meters (approximately 33 feet). This platform is used in high diving events, where athletes perform acrobatic dives from significant heights into a pool below. The platform is designed and standardized to ensure safety and uniformity across competitions. Divers must possess exceptional technique, agility, and mental focus, as the height presents unique challenges regarding entry speed and body control during the dive. Olympic diving showcases both athletic prowess and artistry, with athletes judged on their execution and degree of difficulty of dives.
