FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) ? Brittany Viola, in her third attempt to make the Olympics, won the women's 10-meter platform in the U.S. Olympic Trials on Sunday.

Viola dominated the competition winning by nearly 60 points ahead of second place Katie Bell, who claimed the other qualifying spot for the London games. Viola scored 86.40 on her second-round dive, an armstand back dive from the platform with 2 somersaults and 1 1/2 twists, getting all 9s from the judges. She scored 80.00 on her final dive that clinched the title.

Earlier, Chris Colwill rallied from third place to win the men's 3-meter springboard in the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday, while Troy Dumais held off Kristian Ipsen in the final round to finish second and reach his fourth Olympics in the event.
