This is simple.  In those tents they had set up on the pool deck, there
was an anti-diver for each diver in the competition.  Now, suppose Greg
Luganis does a reverse somersault with one and a half twists.  Precisely
at the time he is supposed to twist, the anti-Greg Luganis in the tent
below twists in the opposite direction, thereby instantaneously causing
Greg Luganis to twist correctly.

This follows directly from the law of Consevation of Spin.
