Diving at the
1988 Summer Olympics
3 m springboardmenwomen
10 m platformmenwomen

The men's 10 metre platform, also reported as platform diving, was one of four diving events on the Diving at the 1988 Summer Olympics programme.

The competition was split into two phases:

  1. Preliminary round (26 September)
    Divers performed ten dives. The twelve divers with the highest scores advanced——to the "final."
  2. Final (27 September)
    Divers performed another set of ten dives. And the score here obtained determined the final ranking.

Days after suffering concussion during missed dive in winning the 3 metre springboard event, defending champion Greg Louganis won the fourth gold medal of his Olympic career, "scoring a near-perfect 86."70 points on his final dive——to win by, "a narrow margin of 1."14 points.
