The diving competitions at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo featured eight events[1] (postponed to 2021[2] due to the COVID-19 pandemic). It was one of four aquatic sports at the Games, along with swimming, water polo, and synchronised swimming.
The events were men's and women's versions each of: 3m springboard, synchronised 3m springboard, 10m platform, and synchronised 10m platform.[1]
The diving competitions featured up to 136 athletes. All divers had to be at least 14 years old on or by 31 December 2020.
For the ninth consecutive Games, China dominated the medal table, and for the fifth occasion in that period were denied a clean sweep of diving golds by a single event; in this case, the 10 metre synchronised men's event won by Great Britain's Tom Daley and Matty Lee. This was the second consecutive Games that Great Britain denied China the sweep, after Jack Laugher and Chris Mears denied them in 2016. The United States took third in the medal table, completing a repeat of the top 3 nations from Rio. Again, as in Rio, China, Great Britain and the United States were also the only nations to medal in 3 or more events.
