The men's 3 metre springboard, also reported as springboard diving, was one of four diving events on the diving at the 1936 Summer Olympics programme.[1]
The competition was split into two sets of dives on separate days:
Divers performed five pre-chosen dives (one from each category) – a running straight somersault forward, standing header backward with pike, running straight isander-half gainer, standing backward spring and forward somersault with pike, and running pike dive with half-screw forward.
Divers performed five dives of their choice (one from each category and different from the compulsory).
Twenty-four divers from 15 nations competed.
