The three-time U.S. Olympian took fifth place with 479.95 points. Dumais totaled a meet-best 91.80 points on his second dive, a forward two-and-a-half somersault with two twists.

China's He Chong won the gold with 554.30 points. Russia's Ilya Zakharov and Evegeny Kuznetsov claimed the silver and bronze medals with 508.95 points and 493.55 points, respectively.
