Iván Alejandro García Navarro (born 25 October 1993) is a Mexican diver.[1] He is nicknamed "Pollo" ("Chicken").[2] He competes in diving and represented Mexico at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. He won a silver medal in the 10m Synchronized Platform with his partner Germán Sánchez with a high score of 468.90.[3] In the individual 10m Platform, García came the 7th with a score of 521.65.[4]

He won two gold medals in both the individual and synchronized 10m Platform in the 2011 Pan-American Games. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London García won the silver medal in the synchronized 10 metre platform diving, with his partner Germán Sánchez.[5] At the 2015 Pan American Games, he retained the gold medal in the individual 10m platform back to back. In Rio 2016 he finished 10th on the individual platform.[6]

Technical Features

Iván García is a talented diver who can perform the most difficult dives all over the world. He has mastered a series of the most difficult dives since 2012. The dives which he uses now in the competition and their difficult degrees are respectively Forward 4+1⁄2 Somersaults-Tuck 109C(3.7), Back 3+1⁄2 Somersaults-Tuck 207C(3.3), Reverse 3+1⁄2 Somersaults-Tuck 307C(3.4), Inward 4+1⁄2 Somersaults-Tuck 409C(4.1), Forward 2+1⁄2 Somersaults 3 Twists-Pike 5156B(3.8) and Armstand Back 2 Soms 2+1⁄2 Twists-Free 6245D(3.6).[7] The total difficult degrees of his dives is 21.9, which is the highest in the world.[citation needed] Iván García is able to dive either the most difficult dive or the second most difficult dive in each of the six diving groups(forward, backward, reverse, inward, twisting and armstand groups). Among these dives, 409C is the most difficult dive being used around the world currently.[8] In 2012 London Olympic Games, Iván García and his partner Germán Sánchez placed second in the synchronized platform—the best performance of Mexicans in synchronized diving. However, due to the difficulty of his dives, he cannot perform perfectly all the time.[citation needed]
