Why He’s a Gold Medal Hottie: The Duke University junior, who had just missed qualifying for the 2008 team, finally made it to the Olympics this year. How did he prepare? “I already have a playlist for London and I’m working to make it bigger. Skrillex, Dillon Francis, different artists in that genre,” he says. That playlist must’ve worked: after competing in the 10-meter syncho together with teammate David Boudia, the dynamic diving duo won the bronze –America’s first men’s diving medal since 1996. Does McCroy see more diving in his future after this? Surprisingly not: his dream is to become a doctor.
