Question

I have been watching olympic diving. Some of the divers wear what look like wristbands, what are they for ?

Answer 1

what you have seen them use is a wrist guard. it supports the wrist from the impact of the water. they are very common for tower divers because the amount of force that they hit the water with is very hard on the body, and since they do this repeatedly their wrists need all the support they can get.

Answer 2

supprot 4 ur wrist when u get in the water n when u r doing the handstand...

Answer 3

Extra support for their wrists.
