      A metric \(d\) on a finite set \(X\) is called antipodal if there exists a map \(\sigma: X \rightarrow X\) so that \(d(x,\sigma(x))= d(x,y) + d(y,\sigma (x))\) holds for all \(x,y \in X.\) In this paper the authors examine antipodal metrics that are in addition totally split decomposable and give explicit characterization of such metrics.
