Simiaka was originally announced as the winner of the competition, and the Egyptian national anthem was played. The officials then declared that a mistake had been made, and that ordinals, not Total points, determined the winner. Consequently, Desjardins was awarded his second gold medal!
A point-for-place system was used. For each dive, the divers were ranked according to their dive score and awarded points based on their rank for that dive.
The competition was actually held from both 10 metre and 5 metre boards.
Divers performed four compulsory dives – running plain dive, backward somersault (5 metre platform), standing plain dive, running plain dive (10 metre platform).
– and four dives of the competitor's choice (different from the compulsory), from either platform, for a Total of eight dives.

Semi-Finals - Thursday, 9th August.

The three divers who scored the smallest number of points in each group of the first round advanced to the final.
