In 1984 a Sports Illustrated reporter said "Greg Louganis is as close to perfection in his sport as it's possible to be". Now more than 20 years later, time has only confirmed this observation.
In this video from the 1984 Olympics, Louganis wins gold medals in both the platform and springboard competitions.The last time a man accomplished this feat was 60 years earlier.
Greg also became the first diver to break 700 points in the 84 Olympics (LA) scoring 710.91 in the platform competition. In this video you will also see and hear coach Ron O'brien, who at one point in the competition tells Louganis " they must like you".
