Troy Dumais wants to become the oldest U.S. Olympic diver in more than 100 years, perhaps of all time*, and the first diver to make five Olympic teams.
He must find a synchronized diving partner first. The Olympic trials are in less than three months.
Dumais, a 36-year-old who earned his first Olympic medal in 2012 (synchronized springboard bronze), competed with two different synchro partners at each of the two biggest national meets of 2015.
Diving with multiple partners at one event is not uncommon, but Dumais’ results were heartbreakingly peculiar.
At both meets, he dived with his 2012 Olympic medal-winning partner, Kristian Ipsen, and with NCAA springboard champion Sam Dorman.
