Carson Tyler on Platform Performance: Straight 10s on 5th Dive Was “every divers dream”

2023 NCAA DIVISION I MEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Carson Tyler took home gold in platform last night with a score of 476.30. Most notable was Tyler’s fifth dive, 207C, where he scored straight 10’s. Tyler, only a sophomore at Indiana, shares what it was like hitting a perfect score, how to rebound before the next one and what it has been like being a part of such a legendary diving team.

207C is a back 3½ somersaults tuck dive.

Wrong site? Is there no Dive Dove? Or nobody really cares about diving….

Carson’s victory on tower moved the Hoosiers from 7th to 4th.

Which is a crime. Diving shouldn’t be tied to swimming at all in scoring a swim meet.

Not sure what point youre trying to make. The NCAA Championships is not a swim meet. It’s right there in the name when you look it up on the NCAA’s website: swimming & diving championships.

Until the NCAA changes the sport to separate diving, it’s a swimming and diving meet. And based on all the downvotes your comments got, I don’t think that’s happening anytime soon.

Exactly. Much like “Track and Field” it is “Swimming and Diving”. Certain teams (Indians, Texas, and Ohio State to name a few) take advantage of the three scoring diving events, which score the same as every other individual event. Good on them.

Tell me again about this diving site where everyone goes to get the latest on what’s happening in diving? Oh, it doesn’t exist. Because nobody cares. Except the parents of the divers and Indiana swimming.

So basically, Indiana swimming needs diving to still be anything. Great job, Indiana swimming!

I think you forgot the “Wh” from the beginning of your username.
