Congratulations to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Diving Team! Eleven members strong; six women and five men will head to London to hopefully bring back the first medal in diving since Laura Wilkinson's gold in 2000. Three divers - Troy Dumais, David Boudia and Nick McCrory, will compete in more than one event adding synchro to their medal hopes. Five divers - Dumais, Boudia, Kelci Bryant, Chris Colwill and Christina Loukas, were members of the 2008 Olympic Team. One diver - Dumais, will be competing in his fourth Olympics.
