More from SportsFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Japan's Ken Terauchi, preparing for his fourth Olympics, won the men's 3-meter springboard final at the USA Diving Grand Prix on Saturday.
He totaled 486.10 points, beating out American Troy Dumais (473.60) of Ventura. China's Xhinhau Zhang was third at 469.35.
Despite finishing second, Dumais was pleased with his performance. A two-time Olympian and elder statesman of the American men, he was just off his goal to average at least 80 points for each of the six dives.
"All my dives were right there to be had," Dumais said. "I just wasn't quite as sharp as I can be."
China's Wang Hao won the women's 10-meter platform, then teamed with Kang Li to take the synchronized event off the high board.
Wang dominated the individual final, finishing with a score of 420.30 points for five dives. American Laura Wilkinson, who won platform gold in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, was a distant second with 360.80, while Mexico's Tatiana Ortiz took third at 338.15.
