The story
Tian Liang won the men's 10m platform gold medal in diving at Sydney 2000 on 30 September 2000. The title went to China, with the competition held at Sydney International Aquatic Centre, Australia. The winning total was 724.53 points.
How it unfolded
Hu Jia (China) took silver; Dmitri Saoutine (Russia) took bronze.
The wider picture
The Olympic diving programme separated individual springboard and platform events from synchronised competitions. Judges assessed the execution of each dive, with the degree of difficulty affecting the points awarded. Individual finals at this edition carried the prescribed semifinal score into the final total. Synchronised pairs also received marks for timing and coordination, so their competition could not be ranked against individual divers.
