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]
