The women’s 10-meter platform diving competition, which has been conducted at every Olympic Games.
Since the 1912 Summer Olympics, took place on August 4 and 5, 2021, at the Tokyo Aquatics Center. It was the event’s 25th appearance.
Each dive must come from a different one of the six groups in each round of five dives (forward, back, reverse, inward, twisting, and armstand).
The degree of difficulty for each dive is determined by the somersaults, position, twists, approach, and entry.
