Plain High, Men

In the plain high diving, Swedes took the first four places, with Erik Adlerz, who won silver at fancy high diving, bringing up the rear of those four. The silver medal winner was Nils Skoglund, who was only 14 years and 11 days old on the day that event ended. He remains the youngest male ever to win a medal in Olympic diving. He is also the youngest male to ever win an individual medal in the Olympics, trailing five women in that category. The 1920 plain high diving event consisted of four dives - one each running and standing from both the 5- and 10-metre platforms.
