Greg Louganis is considered one of the greatest divers of all time, and first came to prominence with a silver in the platform in the 1976 Montreal Games as a 16-year-old.
He missed the 1980 Moscow Games because of the US boycott but returned to take the springboard-platform double in both 1984 and 1988. His springboard victory in Seoul was notable for Louganis qualifying despite striking the board with his head on the next-to-last qualifying dive.
