The second day of competition at the 67th International Divers Day in Rostock began with top-class water diving and decisive moments in the semi-finals of the men's 3-meter board and the women's 10-meter tower. In two thrilling rounds, six athletes competed against each other to secure a place in the final.
The men's 3-meter board was an exciting competition in which the athletes went head-to-head for a place in the final. The individual scores were often only a few points apart, meaning that the rankings were reshuffled with each of the six rounds. It remained exciting right up to the last jump. Only a few managed to show impressive consistency in the semi-finals and maintain their position over several rounds. In the end, the three best athletes from each semi-final qualified for the final and thus kept their chance of winning the gold medal.
