AB  - The  roots  of  competitive  diving  can  be  traced  to  the  17th  century,  when  gymnasts  moved  their  equipment  to  the  beaches,  and  acrobatics  over  the  water  became  a  part  of  their  training.1  Diving  became  popular  in  Germany  and  Sweden  in  the  18th  and  19th  centuries,  respectively.2  The  amateur  diving  association  began  in  1901.2  Modern  diving  achieved  international  notice  in  the  1904  Olympics  in  St.  Louis  when  the  platform  was  included  as  an  event  on  the  men’s  swimming  program.  Three-meter  springboard  diving  was  added  for  the  1908  games  in  London.  In  the  1920s,  the  sport  evolved  from  “plain  high  diving”  to  “fancy  high  diving”  because  the  athletes  performed  more  difficult  dives.
