Results / FINA Diving Grand Prix
MADRID – Purdue alumni David Boudia and Steele Johnson won silver together for USA Diving in synchronized 3-meter, highlighting a two-medal showing for Johnson at the FINA Diving Grand Prix event in Spain.
Individually, Johnson was also a bronze medalist on 3-meter. He won the six-diver semifinal B with a score of 449.70, a mark he nearly matched in the final (440.15). At the senior level, it was his first career international medal on 3-meter.
U.S. Divers won nine total medals at the three-day meet in Madrid, which was the first of eight events on the 2020 FINA Diving Grand Prix.
As they continue to train for FINA Diving World Cup in April and U.S. Olympic Team Trials in June, Boudia & Johnson won their first international medal together as a 3-meter synchro team. Their most prominent achievement together in synchronized events remains the 10-meter silver they won at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Boudia & Johnson posted a list score of 392.67, with both Olympians winning their career international medals in a synchronized 3-meter event.
"Today wasn't our best performance, but we can walk away from Madrid with a lot of positives, also knowing exactly what needs to be worked on as we continue our pursuit to the World Cup in Tokyo and ultimately the Olympic Games in July," said Boudia.
Current student-athlete Greg Duncan also competed on 3-meter in Spain, finishing 14th in the prelim for a top-half showing among the 31-diver field. The top 12 advanced to the semifinals. Duncan will represent Purdue at the Big Ten Championships in 10 days.
Brandon Loschiavo was scheduled to compete with David Dinsmore in 10-meter synchro, but the duo was scratched from the event.
Johnson is expected to compete again at the FINA Diving World Series in Montreal the weekend of Feb. 28 to March 1.

A modern philosopher once said, "If it ain't silver, it ain't Steele." Stoked to have added a silver medal to my bronze medal today! Madrid, you've been amazing. See you all in Montreal very soon! pic.twitter.com/xRoCB86yVt
