In the 19th century, gymnasts practiced moves into water – known as ‘fancy diving’. This led to the development of modern-day diving.
At Seoul 1988, America’s Greg Louganis hit his head on the 3m springboard while executing one of his dives in the preliminary phase. Amazingly, he scraped through to the semi-final and recovered to win the gold medal in the final.
