synchronized diving
Matched aerial descent
Synchronized diving is an Olympic sport in which two divers perform identical dives simultaneously from the same height, judged on both individual execution and how closely their movements match.
Partners must mirror each other's timing, form, and entry into the water: The Chinese pair dominated synchronized diving at the Olympics.
