Dumais chases more Olympic history as career winds down

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Troy Dumais started diving with a dream of becoming the best in the world.

He's leaving the sport still trying to prove it.

With a new wave of daring, young competitors eager to replace him on the international stage, a nerve injury that has been causing numbness in Dumais' right arm since early May and retirement plans already worked out, the 36-year-old diver insists he's not ready to turn this week's U.S. Olympic trials into a farewell tour.

"I am not done," Dumais said following Saturday's underwhelming performance in the prelims and semifinals of his trademark event — synchro 3-meter.
