MONTREAL -- Francois Imbeau-Dulac won the men's three-metre final at the Canadian Olympic diving trials Sunday.
Imbeau-Dulac beat out Olympic veteran Reuben Ross, finishing with a total score of 922.95 to claim Canada's second men's spot in the three-metre competition this summer in London.
The 21-year-old native of St. Lazare, Que., held off Ross in the afternoon final after taking top spot in the morning preliminaries. He will make his Olympic debut.
Ross, who competed in both the three-metre and 10-metre events in Beijing in 2008, took second place with a total of 902.70. He had already qualified for his second straight Olympics in the three-metre synchronized competition with Alexandre Despatie.
Despatie had previously claimed Canada's first individual three-metre qualification for London and did not compete.
The women's 10-metre final followed Sunday afternoon.
Emilie Heymans won the women's three-metre final on Saturday and Riley McCormick won the men's 10-metre event.
Heymans joined Jennifer Abel as Canada's representatives in the three-metre competition in London.
McCormick will be the country's sole competitor in the 10-metre event at the Olympics.
