Three-time Olympian diver Troy Dumais blended well with younger partner Kristian Ipsen to win the gold medal in men’s synchronized 3-meter springboard diving competition at the USA Diving Grand Prix in Florida last weekend.

The American scored 443.13 to win by a large margin against rivals. Dumais, now 29 years old, is hoping that younger divers will do well in upcoming diving competitions and make the U.S. team a force to reckon with in the international scene. He’s happy that Ipsen is showing a lot of promise.

After the win, Dumais said that going for great synchronized dives must be done at the same time, at the right time.

The competition, which took place at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex, was a fierce one with all teams performing their best. The British team of Nicholas Robinson-Baker and Ben Swain took second place after finishing with 422.70 points while Americans Jevon Tarantino and Christopher Colwill snagged the third place with 410.70 points.

However, the duo was not able to receive the bronze prize duo to FINA’s ruling that only one team per country can win a medal at a particular event. The bronze honors went to Stefanos Paparounas and Alexandros Manos of Greece instead.
