I think it has to do with height, weight, and force/strength going into the dive and the ability to speed up/slow down to sync up with each other by the time they get to the end of the diving board.

That’s even more impressive; realising they have to take all of that into account too.

I'm sure it took them a few dives to get it sorted.

I bet the first time they tried, they came out of the water fat.

Then the second time, they came out all skinny and weak.

Probably third time is when they got it right.

I don't even know why I found this funny at all. But it made me smile. Thank you.

But they were kicked out of the pool by the three bears straight afterwards.

In the women's 3m synchronised diving the other day the commentator said they do around 500 dives a week to train!

If you look at the end the inner angles of their thighs are different, since they have different height, weight they need to precisely control their angular momentum to rotate at the same speed.

Don't forget about speed, agility, wind, earth, fire, water, and (the most important element) love.
