Definition: In synchronized diving, two divers of the same gender perform the same, or complementary dives from different boards of the same level, at the same time. The goal is to have the two dives mirror each other. The pair of divers are judged on both the synchronization of the two dives and on the execution of the dives. Synchronized diving first became a medal sport in the Olympics in 2000.
