Russia's Dimitry Dives Out

One Last Medal: The one missing item in the Dmitri’s resume is a springboard gold medal. It is the reason that he has returned to compete in 2008. Even at the age of 34, he can still compete with the best - a silver in synchro at the 2008 FINA World Cup, bronze on springboard at the 2007 World’s, and gold at the 2008 European Championships on both will attest to that. Three Teams, Same Result: Dmitri has competed under three international banners, but it has never affected his performance.

At the 1992 Olympic Games, he competed as a member of the Unified Team, earning a bronze medal. From 1996 to 2004, he competed for Russia in the Olympics, earning six medals. Dmitry’s Stats:
