INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Divers David Boudia and Kassidy Cook moved closer to achieving their summer goals by grabbing the lead in Tuesday's events at the U.S. Olympic trials.
Boudia is trying to become the fourth American man to win consecutive Olympic gold medals in 10-meter. He outdueled synchro partner Steele Johnson in a fierce semifinal battle, finishing with 1,007.25 points. Johnson is second at 961.8. But Johnson had two perfect scores and Boudia had one. David Dinsmore is third at 953.9.
Cook missed the 2012 American team by 0.42 points but will be the final contestant in Sunday's 3-meter finals after scoring 660.
