2009-07-22
ROME (AFP) - American Troy Dumais finished top of the standings in the men's 3m springboard diving preliminary competition at the World Championships here on Wednesday. Dumais pipped Canadian Alexandre Despatie by just 0.10 points ahead of Chinese pair He Chong and Zhang Xinhua. The first two reversed the positions they finished in at the 2005 World Championships in Montreal when Despatie collected the gold medal, while He finished third in that final. Australian Olympic 10m platform champion Matthew Mitcham finished in 11th to also make the semi-finals.
