That’s Troy Dumais on the right, a high school friend of mine. I’ve been watching he and his brother, Justin, also a high school buddy, dive since I was about 12 years old. They had a chance for gold in the 2004 Greece Olympics and, sadly, botched the final dive. Most folks in my hometown city of Ventura thought the chances of Troy or Justin winning a medal were gone. We were wrong.
In his fourth Olympic games, he finally got his medal. Proud of you, Troy. Never gave up. A good day to be a Buena Bulldog.
Troy reminds me of somebody… can’t quite put a finger on it.

Both champions. Both built like Olympic divers.
biggest compliment i’ve ever given you?
When Troy grows up and gets body hair, he’ll look like Greg.
he miiiiiiiight shave. maybe. definitely.
Troy. Lofl
Oh the stories I could tell.
I thought u were better friends/same age as Justin. ?? Just sayin
yes. tighter with justin. he didn’t win the bronze though. tougher to blog.
Btw- checking out the dive team in their speedos doesn’t count as,”watching them dive”
troy looked better in a speedo than any of those other dudes. don’t judge me.
Soooo…. does that make it two dominant pot-smoker American olympians??? How bout that Phelps kid last night.
