A diving upset

After squeaking into the semifinals in 18th and last place, David Boudia stunned the diving world when he shocked world champion Qiu Bo of China for the 10-meter platform gold with a series of textbook dives that had nary a splash upon entry. It's the second straight Olympics in which diving powerhouse China, which claimed all eight diving golds at last year's worlds, was upset in the event on which it seemingly had a lock. Boudia's gold is the first for the U.S. in diving since Laura Wilkinson's in 2000 and the first in the event since Greg Louganis in 1988.
