Elegant Olympic dives fly by in a matter of seconds. Because of that, it’s hard to know what to look for when you try to judge the sport from your couch. One thing that’s easy to see, though? The splash.

And while the sport of diving isn’t all about getting splashes, a small splash is the perfect punctuation to a job well done.
