In the synchronized diving, we have a good chance at making it to the World Cup, he said. Individually, I don’t know yet, it depends on how well I can put it together when it counts.

As well as the synchronized diving, Siracusano will also vie for titles in the 1 and 3-meter spring board events.

After suffering three diving related injuries earlier this year, Siracusano said he now feels as though he is getting stronger every day.

I have to do a lot of strengthening exercises, ice my wrists down, and take a lot of ibuprofen, he said.

I usually train from four to six hours a day. Early in the morning, from about 6:45-9:15, and then from 2:30-5:30 in the afternoon.
