The men's 3 metre springboard diving competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris was held at the Paris Aquatics Centre. It was the 27th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Olympic Games since the 1908 Summer Olympics.
Competition format The competition was held in three rounds Preliminary round: All divers performed six dives; the top 18 divers advanced to the semi-final. Semi-final: The scores of the preliminary round were erased. The 18 remaining divers performed six dives each, and the top 12 divers advanced to the final. Final: The semi-final scores were erased. The 12 final divers performed six dives each, and the top three divers won the gold, silver and bronze medals respectively.
Within each round of six dives, at least one dive must have been from each of the five groups (forward, back, reverse, inward, and twisting). The sixth dive may have been from any group, but may not have repeated one of the other dives. Each dive was assigned a degree of difficulty based on somersaults, position, twists, approach, and entry. There was no limit to the degree of difficulty of dives; the most difficult dives calculated in the FINA rulebook (reverse 4 somersault in pike position and back 4 somersault in pike position) are 4.7, but competitors could attempt more difficult dives. Scoring was done by a panel of seven judges. For each dive, each judge gave a score between 0 and 10 with 0.5 point increments. The top two and bottom two scores were discarded. The remaining three scores were summed and multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give a dive score. The six dive scores were summed to give the score for the round.
