Diving at the 1932 Summer Olympics
At the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, four diving events were organized, two for men, and two for women. The United States swept the medals in all four events. The competitions were held from Monday, August 8, 1932 to Saturday, August 13, 1932.
Medal summary
The events are labelled as 3 metre springboard and 10 metre platform by the International Olympic Committee,[1] and appeared on the 1932 Official Report as springboard diving and high diving, respectively.[2] The platform events included dives from both 10 metre and 5 metre platforms, but, from now on, the springboard events were reduced to dives from the 3 metre board.[3]
