...left shoulder blade on the board during his final tune-up session Wednesday. Undaunted, the Westfield, N.J., junior took to the board the next day wearing a bathing cap to protect his bandage and eight stitches. Despite the injuries and a stomach virus, the end of the 11-dive contest found only three-time defending champion Paul Steck standing between Schramm and the gold medal...

So much for the bombadier squad...
