Diving at the 1912 Summer Olympics – Women's 10 metre platform

It was the first diving event for women at the Summer Olympic Games. The competition was held from Wednesday 10 July 1912, to Saturday 13 July 1912. Fourteen divers from three nations competed.[1]

Results edit
The competition was actually held from both 10 metre and 5 metre platforms. Divers performed a standing plain dive and a running plain dive from the 10 metre platform, a running plain dive and a backward somersault from the 5 metre platform, and three dives of the competitor's choice from the 10 metre platform. Five judges scored each diver, giving two results. Each judge gave an ordinal placing for each diver in a group, with the five scores being summed to give a total ordinal points score. The judges also gave scores more closely resembling the modern scoring system.
First round edit
The two divers who scored the smallest number of points in each group of the first round plus the four best-scoring non-qualified divers of all groups advanced to the final. Ordinal placings were used to rank divers within the group, but were not used to determine qualification.
