For the first time since the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, the U.S. will be sending a full team of divers to Beijing next month. Both the men and women qualified in all single and synchronized events.
This year's team is a mix of veterans and new comers to the Olympic pool. David Boudia is probably the best chance the U.S. has at getting a medal, having finished third at the Water Cube, the swimming and diving venue for the Beijing Olympics.
