Status	Olympic
Location	Helsingin Uimastadion, Helsinki
Participants	36 from 20 countries
Format	3 metres springboard.

The Americans swept the medals in this event, as they did at every Olympics from 1932-52. The gold went to Skippy Browning, who led both the qualifying and the final. Silver medalist Miller Anderson repeated his second-place finish from London. The bronze went to Bob Clotworthy, who would return in four years to win the gold medal in Melbourne.

Browning and Anderson both died young, Browning under tragic circumstances. He was a Navy fight pilot and died in a crash in March 1956 when he was only 24. Anderson had also been a fighter pilot, but in World War II. He would died from a heart attack in 1966, aged 44. Clotworthy became a diving coach and a well-known historian of diving in his later years.
