Olympic Sports: Diving

Diving

History

In the 17th century, gymnasts from Germany and Sweden decided to make daring stunts while jumping in the water. Until the first competition, in 1883, diving was only a way to have fun. In 1901 was founded the Amateur Jumping Association and in 1904 it was introduced on the Olympics.


Rules

The trial of a jump can get the definition of a movement, or not, if the athlete only repeat an already tabulated. Thus, the creation of a complete jump is made over a five partial sum involving the groups of hops and the number of movements performed between mortal and spins. To get an initial result, judges need to consult the formulas in Appendix 1 and the values ​​of the then movements are inserted in Appendix 2, both found in the official rules provided by the Federation. After the preliminary stages, semi artwork and end is decreed winning jumper with the highest total points; in the event of a tie, the athletes share placement; to double the procedure is the same.

It is difficult to judge a jump due to the many subtleties involved, as the style that each athlete can give the same movement. As a result, a considerable number of people is called to assess, trying to keep the result as fair as possible. For competitions at the international level, such as the Olympics, this number rises to seven. When classifying a jump all its implementing steps are taken into account. In a total of five, they are:

    Approach: must be strong and soft at the same time, showing good control and a good way.
    Departure must also show control and balance, in addition to the correct angle starting for the type of adopted jump.
    Elevation: the impulse and the time the athlete reach are very important. A higher heel means more movement time.
    Execution: is the most important, since it is the aerobatics itself. The judge notes the mechanical performance, technique, form and performance of grace.
    Entry: the arrival in the water is very significant because it is the last thing the judge sees. The two criteria to be evaluated are the input angle, which should be close to vertical, and the amount of dispersed water, which should be as small as possible.

After each jump, the referee makes a sign to the judges with a whistle. The judges, who do not communicate with each other, they immediately show your notes. A jump is quoted between zero and ten points, with one point or less placed by each judge. The list of notes and their meanings are as follows:
0 - Complete failure
0.5 to 2 - Unsatisfactory
2.5 to 4.5 – Deficient
5 to 6 - Satisfactory
6.5 to 8 – Good
8.5 to 10 - Very good.

After the notes displayed the highest and the lowest is deleted. The rest is added and multiplied by the jump degree of difficulty, which rotates between 1.2 and 3.8, always set before the start of the athlete's performance. The judgment is then made as follows: assuming that a bouncer has its starting note (the degree of difficulty of movement) valued at 2.0 and remove 6.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 4.0 in its execution. Also retire the lower grades and higher, which creates a partial result of 25.0. So, take note of execution and multiplies it by starting note to reach the final result, which in this example is 50.0.
