The 2016 Olympic Trials continued on Sunday, with the USA Diving’s synchronized men’s 10-meter platform competition. The preliminaries and semifinals for the event all took place on Sunday and as expected, the team of David Boudia and Steele Johnson have the lead.

Boudia was the only American to earn a gold medal in diving for the 2012 Games in London, taking home the top honor for the solo 10-meter platform. The rest of the diving events were dominated by China, who are slowly creeping up behind the United States in the total diving medal count. The US has 49 gold medals in diving while China has 33.

The team of Boudia and Johnson have a score of 835.56 through the semifinals, sporting a massive 124.98-point lead over Ryan Hawkins and Toby Stanley, who have a score of 710.58. Max Showalter and Zachary Cooper are in third with a score of 698.46, while Benjamin Bramley and Maxwell Flory occupy fourth with 666.00 points.

Boudia and Johnson set their highest-scoring dive with an inward three-and-a-half somersault tuck, earning 90.78 points for it. That dive was the only one to clear 90 points throughout the semifinal period. They weren’t perfect, as they scored a paltry 68.82 points on a dive where Boudia hadn’t rotated enough, their fifth dive of the day.

Scores are cumulative through each round, from the preliminaries to the semifinals and then the final. Nobody gets eliminated until Thursday night, when the final will take place.
