Article 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT
The Association of Social Promotion SPIZ, with the support of the Municipality of Trieste, will hold a splash diving contest called “18th Olympics of Clanfe”.
The event, open to everybody, will take place on Saturday, July 26th, 2025 from 1:00 pm, at the bathing establishment Ausonia of Riva Traiana 1 in Trieste.
In case of bad weather the event will take place on Sunday, July 27th 2025.
During the event the payment of the normal entry ticket at the bathing establishment "Ausonia" will be at discretion of the establishment's Direction.
Article 2 – SOCIAL PURPOSE
The Social Promotion Association SPIZ believes that preserving one's historical memory, especially in its playful dimension, is fundamental for a community.
For this reason, it promotes the Olimpiade dele Clanfe as an opportunity for intergenerational meeting through a non-competitive sports competition, which nevertheless remains a real diving competition.
This event will have a dual purpose: on the one hand, it will provide space for one of the most widespread popular traditions in Trieste, and on the other, it will create a context of social inclusion among people of different ages, backgrounds, and origins.

Article 4 – COMPETITION
The diver will compete with one single dive, performed exclusively from the point designated by the organization (rigid platform - height from the water about 3 meters).
The starting order will be fixed according to the day and time of registration.
All funny chaps, jokers and jesters are warmly encouraged to participate, and all kinds of costumes, hairstyles, make-ups, etc. are welcome, in order to enhance the Triestine "morbìn", i.e. the desire to have fun and be together, which is the main purpose of the event.

Competitors will be divided into 7 categories, without any distinction of age and gender, named as per following table.

Article 6 – JURY
The Jury will be made up of 5 (five) members.
The jurors will evaluate the competitor for the style of the dive, for the produced splash, essentially for the technical part of the dive, also called "Zata or Manigo" and finally they will evaluate the artistic performance or the so-called "Morbìn".
For further details on the Jury please read the dedicated page Jury of the 18th Olympics of Clanfe 2025.
Article 7 – SCORES
Each technical juror will evaluate the diver by separately judging the style of the dive, the produced splash, and the artistic performance, with the following criterion:
RESULT
SCORE
ORIBILE
(missed or incomplete dive, or dive not corresponding to the declared type)
(missed or incomplete dive, or dive not corresponding to the declared type)

The five scores of the technical evaluation will be summed up with the five scores of the splash size: finally the single vote of the Morbìn juror will be added, evaluating the artistic appearance with the same criteria applied to the dive and the splash evaluation.
The final score is obtained by adding the bonus for the difficulty coefficient.
Therefore, the final score will be obtained by applying the following formula:
FINAL SCORE = DIVE SCORE + SPLASH SCORE + ARTISTIC SCORE + BONUS
If at the end of the competition two or more divers will have obtained the same score, the position will be determined according to the age, thus rewarding the younger vs. the older participant.
Article 8 – AWARDS
The prizes awarded are real "clanfe" (horseshoes) painted in the classical colors of the Olympic podium: gold, silver and bronze.
They will be given to the first three winners of each category, without gender distinction.
The first man and the first woman obtaining the absolute highest scores will be crowned as “RE dele CLANFE” and “REGINA dele CLANFE” (King and Queen of the Clanfe).
Other special surprise prizes will be awarded thanks to gadgets generously offered by event's partners.
