Frontal-axis somersault. The same angular momentum. A different body shape. Control the athlete and discover why tucking accelerates rotation.

MODEL NOTE This is a game-character rendering test, not a finished diving athlete. The replacement diver requires a licensed, anatomically appropriate 3D model.
Change take-off angular momentum to set the amount of rotation; change body position to alter moment of inertia and angular velocity while momentum stays constant. Playback changes viewing speed only. The green marker shows the approximate centre of mass and the frontal-axis rotation pivot. Segment masses and poses are illustrative, not validated diving measurements.
