Additionally, Potter was chosen as World Diver of the year in springboard competition in 1970, 1971 and 1972.

The women's 3 metre springboard competition was added to the Olympic programme.

Greg Louganis found himself in his accustomed place today, first, halfway through the 3-meter springboard competition at the United States Olympic diving trials.

Previously in the springboard competition, 12 divers advanced to the final, which consisted of 11 dives, 5 required and 6 voluntary.

"I was very mad at myself," said Sautin of his surprisingly low fifth-place finish in the men's springboard competition.

In 1920 she won the silver medal in the 3-meter springboard competition.

Greg Louganis of the United States today became the first man to win the 3-meter springboard competition in consecutive Olympic Games.

After Louganis hit his head in a preliminary round of the springboard competition, Bradshaw said, he checked the board and saw no blood on it.

"There was no blood on the diving board at all," said Bradshaw, who finished fifth in the springboard competition.

Wu Minxia and her partner, Guo Jingjing, won the 3-meter springboard competition.
