Divers advance, unimpressively
Ventura's Troy Dumais advanced to the 3-meter springboard semifinals in diving at the Olympics, but he is 12th out of the 18 who moved on.
His United States teammate Chris Colwill is seventh after the preliminary round.
Dumais had two high-scoring dives, but his three other dives were executed below expectations.
He had the second highest scoring dives in the second and third rounds, but was in last place after a poorly executed first dive. His scored poorly on his fifth and last dive in preliminaries.
"I didn't perform my dives the way I have the past six or seven weeks. I don't want to have an off day, but I'll change the channel and regroup," Dumais said.
Colwill rallied with his last three dives in preliminaries and was able to erase a slow start.
"I was definitely a little nervous on that first dive, but I felt confident. I definitely could have done a little better, but I can't complain," Colwill said.
