The diving competitions at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were held from 27 July to 10 August 2024 at the Paris Aquatics Centre.[1] [2] A total of 136 divers, with an equal distribution between men and women, competed across eight medal events (four per gender in both individual and synchronized) at these Games, the same amount as Tokyo 2020.[3]
Having been denied a clean sweep of gold medals by Great Britain in both previous Games, Chinese divers swept all of the available events for the first time, winning a record eight gold medals.[4] Great Britain won no golds for the first time since 2012, but a national record five medals, the only team other than China to win more than two, to finish in second place in the table.
