Dorman, Team USA Open FINA Diving World Cup
SHANGHAI — University of Miami All-American diver Sam Dorman will compete for Team USA at the 2014 FINA Diving World Cup, slated to begin Tuesday in Shanghai, China.
A first-time World Cup team member, Dorman paired up with Olympic medalist David Boudia to earn USA’s synchronized 3-meter pairing at World Cup trials in May. In a contest that came down to the final dive, Dorman and Boudia captured first place and a spot at the top international meet of the 2014 season.
The World Cup – the last major world competition before Olympic qualifying next summer – will be Dorman’s first major world meet.
“I’m kind of speechless. It’s the first big meet I’ve ever made, so I just want to go and have fun,” he said after trials.
Synchronized 3-meter trials begin July 15 at 4 p.m. local time, while 3-meter finals are set for July 17 at 7:40 p.m.
