In 2021, the Tokyo Aquatics Centre hosted the men’s 3m springboard diving competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The event has made an appearance at every Summer Olympics since the 1908 Summer Games, making this the 26th time it has taken place.

One dive from each of the five categories must be included in each set of six dives (forward, back, reverse, inward, and twisting).
You can choose the sixth dive from any category, but it can’t be a repeat from the previous dives.
Difficulty levels for dives are determined by factors such as somersaults, position, twists, approach, and entry.
