Competitors perform a series of dives and are awarded points up to 10, depending upon their elegance and skill. The points are then adjusted for the degree of difficulty, based on the number and types of manoeuvres attempted. A reverse 1.5 somersault with 3.5 twists, for example, is among the most difficult.

The Olympic triathlon consists of a 1.5 kilometres open-water swim around Farm Cove in Sydney Harbour, a 40 kilometres cycle and a ten kilometres run around the Opera House, Royal Botanical Gardens and Domain.
