Here’s Part II of our series focusing on male divers who are currently at the top of the diving world. If you missed Part I which focused on 3-meter springboard divers, go check it out here: Best Male Divers in the World.

This post focuses on the ten best platform divers in 2014 as ranked by the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) or the International Swimming Federation. We think the ranking should cover a longer period (rather than just the past 12 months) and that it should include more results from more events (rather than the best three results), but that’s us.

Anyhoo, let’s check out the Top Ten Divers in the world with China’s 1) Yang Jian at the head of the pack. His most notable achievement to date: winning the gold medal in the 10m platform event at the 2014 FINA Diving World Cup.
