Diving encompasses sport, precision and art which makes it a really interesting moment. ‘As the divers go to the top of their platforms, excitement builds — and powering off, they jump up to the sky.’ This was the point in time when diving started to liberate itself from its aesthetic beauty.

For a swimmer, a jump is an altitude and a point in a vertical trajectory rather than an act of going downwards. Every part of the jump choreography is planned, from the initial lift off to the last movement of sliding into the water for a clean entry. Targeting an audience from the television or people sitting in the stands, divers perform complicated routines of flips, rotations and poses with elegance.

Careful and centered practice is essential in becoming a diver where focus is crucial, technique and muscle come together. This is how people train every day trying to earn their next big entry and cut out everything but the style for ten out of ten scores. The jump itself requires a lot of precision and concentration whereas, during the flip, a single thought crosses the mind; keep the entire body steady in the excitement of a jump.

It’s not only the particulars of the specific dive that is being judged in the competitions, but also the beauty of it, the overall composition. Sports and arts combine harmoniously in the athletic discipline of diving. When a diver goes into the air, he is the embodiment of beauty and sports moves, which causes admiration of millions of viewers around the globe.
