Answer 2

Gregory Efthimios Louganis (born November 29, 1960 in El Cajon, California) is an American diver.

Louganis is best known for winning back-to-back Olympic titles in both the 3m and 10m diving events. He received the James E. Sullivan Award in 1984 as the top amateur athlete in the United States.
Men's diving
Silver 1976 Montreal 10 m platform
Gold 1984 Los Angeles 3 m springboard
Gold 1984 Los Angeles 10 m platform
Gold 1988 Seoul 3 m springboard
Gold 1988 Seoul 10 m platform

Louganis was raised in California to adoptive parents. He is of Samoan/Swedish descent, and was adopted by a Greek-American family. At age 16, he took part in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, where he placed second in the tower event, behind Italian Klaus Dibiasi. Two years later, with Dibiasi retired, Louganis went on to win his first world title in the same event.

In 1978, he accepted a diving scholarship to the University of Miami where he studied theater, but in 1981 transferred to the University of California, Irvine, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.


Olympic Games
Louganis was a favorite for two golds in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. But an American boycott of the games, instituted by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, in protest of the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, prevented him from participating.

Four years later, with the Games in Los Angeles, Louganis (who in the meantime had won two world titles in 1982) grabbed his revenge. With record scores and leads over his opponents, Louganis won gold medals in both the springboard and tower diving events.

After winning two more world championship titles in 1986, he repeated his 1984 feat in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, although not without difficulties. In what is considered one of the greatest feats in sporting history, Louganis suffered an injury during one dive attempt, then went on to score a perfect dive the second time, enough to earn him the gold medal. In one of his jumps in the springboard event, Louganis hit the diving board with his head while attempting a reverse 2 1/2 pike, but the resulting injury did not prevent him from going on to win the gold medal. His incredible comeback earned him as ABC's Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year for 1988.
