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]
For the first time, Chinese divers swept all of the available events, winning a record eight gold medals.[4] Great Britain won no golds for the first time since 2016, but won a national record of five medals, being the only team other than China to win more than two, and finished in second place in the table for the third successive Games. Outside of China and Great Britain, six nations shared the remaining eight minor medals.
Qualification
[edit]136 diving quota places, with an equal split between men and women, were available for Paris 2024; NOCs could enter a maximum of two divers each in the men's and women's individual events and a gender-based pair in the synchronized events, respecting a sixteen-member (eight per gender) country limit.[3] To be eligible for the Games, all divers had to be 14 years old and above on or before December 31, 2023; and had to have participated in various international meets approved by World Aquatics.[5][6]
Individual events

- Reallocation – Additional spots had been entitled to the eligible divers placed thirteenth and above in their corresponding individual events, respecting the two-member country limit, at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships until they attained the total quota of 136.
