This year’s USA Diving team offers the best chance at medaling in over a decade. The Chinese team has been dominant, as always, and will most likely win gold in London, but the Team USA men’s diving team will have a legitimate chance to medal in both the 10 meter platform and synchronized 10 meter platform.<\/p>\n

David Boudia and\u00a0Nick McCrory:<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0Boudia is team USA’s best chance for the medal chance. Boudia has had an incredible year with a silver medal at the 2011 FINA World Championships and a silver in the synchronized FINA World Series. Boudia has been on top of his game and will most likely be competing for the silver or the bronze.<\/p>\n

McCrory is\u00a0David Boudia’s partner for the synchronized dive. \u00a0They placed 4th in the FINA Synchronized Diving World Cup and are hoping a good performance will propel them to the silver medal.<\/p>\n

Tony Dumais and\u00a0Kristian Ipsen: <\/strong>Tony Dumais is definitely the captain of Team USA diving. The 32-year-old Dumais is a three time Olympian and the winner of 35 national championships. He is teaming with the youngster, 19-year-old Kristian Ipsen, in the synchronized 3 meter springboard. Ipsen is making his first Olympic appearance, but this collegiate standout from Stanford has a room full of trophies from the junior tour.<\/p>\n

The duo finished 5th in the World Championship and will need a significant improvement if they hope to reach the medal stand. Dumais will also compete in the 3 meter springboard.<\/p>\n
