I'm no diving expert, but to me it seemed the mens dives tended to be more difficult than the women's.

Having them line up and do the same dive? Probably pretty equal. But allowing them to do whatever dives they want? That would seem to favor the men.

Maybe I'm wrong though and it is just perception that the men's were more difficult.

i guess i didn't watch any olympic diving, i'm just thinking that women, being lighter, could tuck and spin just as well as men.
