Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History DIVING Diving made its first Olympic appearance at the 1904 St. Louis Games with an event that combined platform and springboard diving. That event was also on the program at the 1906 "intercalated" games in Athens. Springboard diving was added in 1908 and platform diving in 1912, when the combined event was dropped. Women's platform diving was also added in 1912, followed by women's springboard diving in 1920. From 1912 through 1928, divers were ranked by ordinals; that is, the places assigned them by the judges. Thus, if there were three judges and a diver was ranked first by two and second by one, that diver's score would be 4 (1+1+2). A diver with a lower point score but higher ordinals could therefore win the gold medal. Since 1932, divers have been ranked by the total number of points for all their dives. The score for a dive is the score awarded by the judges, on a scale from to 6, multiplied by the dive's degree of difficulty. The degree of difficulty ranges from a low of 1.2 to a high of 3.6. The newest discipline, synchronized diving, became an Olympic event in 2000.

quick advanced Scroll down for the article Dumb Olympic Sports Rollerskating, ballroom dancing and water skiing could be events you see at future Olympic Games. You may also see tug-of-war, sumo wrestling and even chess. All of these are activities which the people who organize the Olympics consider to be "sports", and are thinking about adding to future Olympic competitions. Gimme a break. There are already enough lame sports at the Olympics. They don't need to add more sports; they need to get rid of some. Why do they even have fencing or shooting events? These are not sporting events, they are methods of murder. The same goes for synchronized swimming. If you have to put on make-up and get judged based on how much you smile - then it's not a sport (and it is possible to be bored to death by synchronized swimming!) What are they gonna add next? Modeling and hair styling ? I guess that way Anna Kournikova could finally say she's a winning athlete and not just some hot babe with a nice racket. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) did have enough brains to decide that bodybuilding is not a sport (it's actually defined as a circus act or a freak exhibit) - but the organization has given status to too many other activities that should really be classified as hobbies or "things I do when I'm really bored," (synchronized swimming not being one of them!)

Submit A Special Request Olympic Sports History SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING The great Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, planted the first seed of what was to become synchronized swimming when she performed "water ballet" in a glass tank at the New York Hippodrome in 1907. Katherine "Kay" Curtis didn't see the performance, but she may well have been inspired by newspaper accounts. As a student at the University of Wisconsin in 1915, Curtis began experimenting with underwater swimming stunts. The following year, she was instrumental in having synchronized swimming added to the school's physical education program for women. Curtis moved on to the University of Chicago, where she founded a water ballet club in 1923. Sixty of her swimmers, known as the "Modern Mermaids," performed at the 1934 Century of Progress World's Fair in Chicago, attracting national and international publicity. The sport quickly became popular among young women in the Chicago area and Curtis developed rules for competition, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics, diving, and figure skating. The first recorded competition was held May 27, 1939, between Chicago Teacher's College, coached by Curtis, and Wright Junior College, also in Chicago.

In the world of Olympic sports, Kestrel Communications has worked with both National and International Sports Federation to advance their sports. Kestrel's Olympic experience runs deep with its principles having been involved with the Olympic Games in 1980, 1984, 1992, 1994, and 1996. In 1998 Kestrel provided expertise to United States Diving, Inc. for their National Championships in Atlanta, Georgia. Diving enjoyed prime time coverage during the 1996 Summer Games, but did not have a television presence outside Olympic coverage. Kestrel secured distribution with multiple air dates and produced two one-hour programs documenting the men's and women's competition. The exposure was unequaled for the sport in a non-Olympic year. In 1999 US Diving's television exposure will double as Kestrel will produce the US Diving National Championships in Houston, Texas and diving's top international event, The FINA/USA Diving Grand Prix in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
