What is a "springboard"?

A springboard is a flexible board used in diving and gymnastics to provide extra bounce and height when jumping or diving. It is typically made of wood or metal and has a spring mechanism underneath that allows it to bend and propel the user upward. In diving, athletes use the springboard to perform acrobatic movements before entering the water. In gymnastics, it helps athletes perform high jumps or flips. The springboard adds an element of power and precision, assisting in achieving greater height and control during routines.
