USA Diving had a fantastic Olympics! We ended up with 4 medals: 1 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronze. Not bad after being skunked in the last 2 Olympics (2008, 2004) and only 1 medal in 2000. Last gold in individual 10 meter tower was in 1988. - yikes!
Here is USA Diving's article about Boudia winning Gold:
He had a great final (prelims - not so much). Although I do admire the Chinese divers, it was good to see them lose. They didn't respond to pressure well. I wish that Tom Daley would have beaten them and taken silver. He deserved it.
My son is a diver. We are looking forward to his senior year. Unsurprisingly, Boudia's Gold Medal is inspiration for American divers everywhere.
