The 2012 London Olympics included diving as one of four aquatic disciplines, continuing the sport's long Olympic tradition. Eight events were scheduled across springboard and platform categories, with qualification requiring athletes to be at least 14 years old by the end of 2012.
Diving competitions were held from 29 July to 11 August at the Aquatics Centre in Olympic Park, London. A total of 136 athletes from 25 countries competed across eight events: men's and women's 3m springboard, synchronised 3m springboard, 10m platform, and synchronised 10m platform.
China topped the diving medal table with six gold medals and ten total, affirming its position as the dominant force in competitive diving. The results extended China's historic pattern of Olympic diving supremacy across both individual and synchronised events.
