Diving_at_the_1956_Summer_Olympics_–_Women's_10_metre_platform
The women's 10 metre platform, also reported as high diving, was one of four diving events on the Diving at the 1956 Summer Olympics programme.[1]
The competition was held on both 10 and 5 metre platforms and split into two phases on different days:
- Preliminary round (6 December) – Divers performed three voluntary dives of limited degrees of difficulty and one voluntary dive without limits. The twelve divers with the highest scores advanced to the final.
- Final (7 December) – Divers performed two voluntary dives without any limits of difficulty. The final score was the aggregate of the preliminary and final rounds' points.
