    Louganis, Greg (b. 1960) by Robert Kellerman Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Greg Louganis is widely regarded as the greatest diver in history. After having won a silver medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, he dominated diving competitions throughout the 1980s, winning two gold medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and two more at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Since his retirement from competition, he has acknowledged both his homosexuality and his status as a person living with AIDS. Louganis was born on January 29, 1960 in San Diego to a Samoan father and a northern European mother. He was adopted at nine months and was raised in El Cajon, a suburb of San Diego. He began his athletic life as a gymnast and acrobat, but switched to diving when a local coach noticed his natural talent. Diving became an important physical and emotional outlet for Louganis, an arena in which he could succeed at a time when he was ridiculed for his skin color, his interest in dance, his undiagnosed dyslexia, and his apparent homosexuality. Suffering from depression in his adolescence, Louganis attempted suicide several times, smoked and took drugs, and denied his sexual attraction toward men. Louganis emerged as a diving phenomenon when he was a teenager. He demonstrated not simply strength and technical proficiency, but also an unusual grace, a combination of qualities that were to become his trademark. At the 1971 AAU Junior Olympics competition, Louganis caught the attention of legendary diving coach Dr. Sammy Lee.

    Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights California cruises to fi rst title in 31 years; Team clinches title by winning 400-yard freestyle relay: The California men’s swimming team, powered by titles by senior Nathan Adrian and a victory in the 400-yard freestyle relay during the fi nal day of the meet, earned its third national championship by winning the 2011 NCAA Men’s Swim- ming and Diving Championships March 24-26 at Minnesota. The Golden Bears, led by fourth-year coach David Durden, won their fi rst NCAA team title in men’s swimming since capturing back-to-back titles under Nort Thornton in 1979-80. In a dramatic conclusion to its national title run, Cal’s 400 free relay team of senior Graeme Moore, senior Josh Daniels, sophomore Tom Shields and Adrian won the meet’s fi nal event with a time of 2:47.39 to give the Bears a 493 to 470½ point victory over Texas in the team standings.

  • NOT THAT THERE Is ANYTHING WRONG with THAT: the PRACTICAL and LEGAL IMPLICATIONS of a HOMOSEXUAL PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE
    Comments NOT THAT THERE Is ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT: THE PRACTICAL AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF A HOMOSEXUAL PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE Avi Sinensky* I. INTRODUCTION On May 21, 2002, New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza held a press conference to squelch a rumor that was circulating in the city's gossip columns that he was gay.1 "The rumor's been brought to my attention," said Piazza. "First off, I'm not gay. I'm heterosexual. That's pretty much it. That's pretty much all I can say. I don't see the need to address the issue further."2 While this episode did not produce professional sports' first openly gay athlete, it did revive the discussion about whether professional sports was ready for an openly homosexual participant and what the practical ramifications would be if a player were to come out of the closet and publicly acknowledge his homosexuality.3 As many have pointed out, there are over 2,500 professional athletes in the three major Avi Sinensky graduated magna cum laude from Yeshiva College in 2004 and from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2008. I would like to thank my parents for all their hard work, guidance, and support. I couldn't have done any of it without you. 1. Rafael Hermoso, Piazza Responds to Gossip Column, N.Y.

  • A Biographical Overview and Image Series of Dr. Sammy Lee Dr
    A Biographical Overview and Image Series of Dr. Sammy Lee Dr. Sammy Lee had a remarkable life. He was born in Fresno, California, when the state was still heavily segregated by race, but he nevertheless became an officer in the United States Army, and then a distinguished Olympic athlete as an elite diver, first in the Summer games in London in 1948 and again in Helsinki in 1952. He went on to a notable career as a surgeon and physician, as well as an influential diving coach based in Orange County, California. Dr. Lee would serve as an important representative for the United States during the Cold War, and he would also identify and coach other elite Olympic divers over several decades. His life unfolded during the expansion of American military power in the Pacific, and although he experienced white supremacist discrimination throughout his life, he became a new kind of American citizen––one who represented a more progressive and inclusive multiracial nation. Even before he was born, American citizens had reshaped the lives of his parents and of his ancestral country. His father, Soon Kee Rhee, had been working as a translator for an American engineering firm engaged in railroad construction. The sovereign monarch of Korea, King Kojong, had granted these “concessions” to foreign companies to strengthen and to develop his country, as other great powers, including Russia, Japan, and China, continued to compete for influence in the Korean court. King Kojong received American missionaries, businessmen, and diplomats to develop ties between Korea and the United States, and this was how Soon Kee Rhee became an indirect beneficiary of these policies to “open” Korea to foreign influence and to strengthen it through modernization.1 Rhee used this position to leave Korea, just like many hundreds of thousands of Koreans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

  • Kelly Kessler – Asst
    “Heckling America’s Heroes: Interactivity and Olympic Heroism in the Digital Age” Kelly Kessler – Asst. Professor, DePaul University, College of Communication’s Media and Cinema Studies Program When pitching this response prior to the Olympic Games, I had hoped to forge a discussion of the altered state of Olympic heroism in the digital age. In the past, Olympic stars such as Bruce Jenner (pre-Keeping Up with the Kardashians), Carl Lewis, Mary Lou Retton, and Karri Strug (with her amazing one-leg landing) had run, jumped, flipped, and flopped into the hearts of Americans. America loves (or at least loved) a hero—the more hometown the better—and televised Olympic coverage had been happy to oblige. For decades the Olympic Games had stood as one of America’s most heralded televised events. Like (once upon a time) the Oscars and the annual airing of The Sound of Music, they brought Americans to their televisions in droves and with communal anticipation. Stars were born and quickly splashed across much- coveted Wheaties boxes. Prior to these Games, NBC had held out promises of a new democratized Olympic experience and path to stardom, ushered in by the integration of various forms of new media. Much of the pre-buzz around NBC’s coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics focused on a comprehensive Olympic experience that would emerge from a wealth of broadcast and niche channels (NBC, CNBC, NBC Sports, Bravo, and Univision) and NBC’s live mobile interface LiveExtra, which would stream all events in real time, allowing the mobile viewer to program his/her own Olympic Games.

    Episode: #84 Disappointment in Dog Sports: Mindset with Olympian Greg Louganis Speaker Key SG Susan Garrett GL Greg Louganis (Guest) Transcript 00:00:10 SG One of the toughest things that any of us have to do is recover from disappointment. And a lot of times that disappointment, is a ratio on what our expectations are of a situation, and the outcomes that we get. So, if our expectations are low and the outcomes are amazing, we’re happy, but if our expectations are high and the outcomes are not as good, then disappointment can lead to depression and it actually can affect our enjoyment of what we’re doing. 00:00:40 A lot of people quit activities because of their disappointment in themselves or that they’re disappointing others. That is the focus of today’s podcast. And I’m super excited because, who would be better to talk about disappointment than somebody who’s won seven Olympic gold medals? 00:00:58 And you’re going to say, “Well, it sounds like this person’s won a lot.” But he’s also had to overcome a lot of disappointment. So, I’m so thrilled to introduce you all to my very good friend, the one and only Greg Louganis. So welcome, Greg. 00:01:15 GL Thank you. And you gave me a few more Olympic gold medals? SG Oh, I always give you two extra! I don’t know where, but you know what, those were the boycotted ones. I know you’re going to get double gold there.
