Sport Overview

Postponement has been decided for the World Masters Games 2021 Kansai.
The new dates are being arranged.
Please note that the followings are the information before the postponement was confirmed.



Diving consists of two events: springboard diving, where divers leverage the resiliency of a duralumin springboard in their performance, and high diving, where divers jump into the water from a fixed platform. Divers are given points according to the difficulty and execution of their techniques. In their performances, divers can vary the direction of takeoffs or somersaults, add twists or start from a handstand position. Points are given based on various aspects of a performance, including the elegance of the combination of three types of spinning positions (straight, pike and tuck) and the amount of splashing that occurs when hitting the water.
