The European Diving Championships are biennial diving competitions, organized by LEN. The meet features divers from Europe, competing in events on 1-meter and 3-meter springboards and on 10-meter platform. The meet has traditionally been held in June.

History

[edit]
Trophy for the European Diving Champion

Diving was an integral part of the European Aquatics Championships since its introduction in 1926.

A separate Diving Championships were first held in 2009 in Turin, and featured 10 events: individual diving from 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform among both men and women, and synchronized diving from 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform among both men and women as well. The team event was added for the second edition of the Championships in Turin. Synchronized mixed diving events on 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform were added for the fifth edition of the Championships in Kyiv.

Winners in the diving portion of the European Aquatics Championships event and in the separate European Diving Championships are both considered European champions, with new champions effectively being crowned annually.

A country that receives the most total points during the Championships officially becomes the European diving champion. The number of points is determined by results of all finalists, not only the medal holders. The 2017 European diving champion was Ukraine.[1]

The most recent edition, the sixth edition was held between 5 and 11 August 2019 in Kyiv.

The seventh edition of the standalone European Diving Championships was held in Poland in June 2023 as part of the 2023 European Games along with the European Artistic Swimming Championships.
