The Super Final of the World Aquatics Diving World Cup 2025 will play out this weekend in Beijing, People’s Republic of China.
Actions will take place from May 2 to 4 at the iconic National Aquatics Centre, also known as the “Water Cube”, where top divers from around the world will take the plunge.
The top 12 divers in each individual event and top eight synchronised and mixed teams have been qualified after competing at two stops, in Guadalajara and Windsor.
How is Diving World Cup Super Final Different
Unlike the traditional diving competitions, the Super Final includes an innovative knockout format, consisting of a head-to-head stage, semi-final, and final.
World Aquatics has defined the structure for the Super Final is as follows:
“In the head-to-head stage, divers will be paired based on their seeding. Each will choose three dives to perform and the lowest scorer in each pairing will be eliminated, with six athletes advancing to the semi-final.
“Points from the head-to-head will carry over to the semi-final stage, featuring two groups of three divers competing against each other. Athletes will complete the remaining dives from their full list, with the lowest scorer in each group eliminated to leave four who progress to the final.
“Results from the first two stages will be wiped for the final, and each diver will perform their full list to determine the World Aquatics Diving World Cup – Super Final medallists.”
The Super Final is the third and final stop of the 2025 World Aquatics Diving World Cup series. In contrast to the open-entry format of the first two phased, the Super Final is invitation-only, featuring the top-ranked athletes from the earlier stops. It also provides an opportunity for the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore later this year.
