28 Olympic Moments of the Past.photo

Spectacular diving footage of Greg Louganis at the '84 Summer Olympic Games.  Greg Louganis wasn't just a Gold Medal diver, he was an artist without equal and is an incredible human being.

"Greg Louganis is openly gay. After he tested positive for HIV in 1988, he recounted his story in a best-selling autobiography Breaking the Surface co-written with Eric Marcus. The book spent five weeks at number one on the New York Times Best Seller list. His story was also documented in the 1996 Showtime movie Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story"... [Wikipedia]
