Greg
Louganis began competing in diving
at age 10. By 16, he had won his
first Olympic medal, a silver medal
on the platform in 1976. At 24, he
became the first man in 56 years to
win two gold medals in diving by
winning both the platform and
springboard events. In 1988,
competing against divers half his
age, he became the first to win
double gold medals for diving in two
consecutive Olympics...>>>

Greg’s
diving accomplishments do not stop
there. He is a six time World
Champion and has held 47 National
Championship titles. At the Pan Am
Games he earned six gold medals and
in 1985 he was awarded the Sullivan
Award as the nation’s most
outstanding amateur athlete.
Greg
Louganis is clearly the world’s
greatest diver and a fine athlete.
At the 1988 Olympic Games he was
awarded the Maxwell House/United
States Olympic Committee Spirit
Award as the Olympic athlete who had
best exhibited the ideals of the
Olympic spirit, demonstrated
extraordinary courage and
contributed significantly to the
sport. Greg is more than just a
diver, he stands out as a human
being as well. Greg speaks out for
many organizations including youth
clubs, drug and alcohol
rehabilitation groups, and
organizations for the dyslexic.
Greg's
autobiography, "Breaking the
Surface," spent five weeks at number
one on the New York Times
Best-Seller List. He then produced
a Video Diary called "Looking To the
Light," which picked up where
"Breaking the Surface" left off.
His second book,
"For the Life of Your
Dog,"
has just been published.
