The US athletes won medals in 3 of the 4 events of the program, especially David Boudia, Olympic champion in the individual contest on the platform. Moreover, the U.S. stayed with bronze medals in synchronized events, both on the platform as the springboard. WOMEN. The United States had a discreet showing in women's competitions.
