One day before diving begins at the Paris Olympics, American Brandon Loschiavo was awarded a spot in the men’s 10m platform competition.
Loschiavo earned the Olympic spot after the U.S. was awarded an additional quota spot when another foreign athlete dropped out of the competition. The 27-year-old from Huntington Beach, California, finished second in the platform at the U.S. Olympic Trials, but at the time the U.S. has only earned one spot in the event for the Paris Games.
Carson Tyler, who won the U.S. trials, will also compete in the event in Paris.

The preliminary round of competition for the men’s 10m platform will be held on Friday, Aug. 9 at 4 a.m. ET.
