	INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE - SPORTS
		It was simply diving, as we know it today, and indeed, the 1996 programme did not change a blink from the 1924 programme.
		Now here comes some truly fancy diving: synchronised diving, or diving in pairs, which was introduced in the Sydney 2000 Games, doubling the programme in more than one way.
		The traditional men's and women's 10-metre platform and three-metre springboard diving events were repeated for the synchronised portion, with judges assessing both individual dives and synchronisation.

	Olympic Preview: Diving
		Although cliff diving dates back to the Ancient Olympic games, it was European gymnasts, practicing their routines over water at the beach in the early 1800s, that we can thank for inspiring one of the Olympics' most-watched events.
		The diving finals at Atlanta in 1996 were watched on television by more households than either the Rose Bowl or the NCAA men's basketball final that year.
		Their dives are scored by a panel of nine judges—Four score technical merit while the other five score the synchronization of the dives.

	Diver Anne Montminy Will be Cometing at her Third Olympics

	Diving: Butler's Pichler seeks his sunken treasure
		Their sports had so many events, so many opportunities to win Olympic medals, and the most he or any diver could ever hope for was two measly chances.
		Synchronized diving, in which two competitors do the same dives -- or the opposite ones -- at the same time, is making its Olympic debut.
		Pichler and his partners walk to the edge of the diving board in step, they count down so they turn around in unison and they raise their arms simultaneously.

		When the dive is over, swim to the side of the board so the next diver can see you.
		Reference to diving boards characteristics such as slightly uphill or one side of the board being lower than the other are things that generally occur over a long period of time.
