  • Louganis, Greg (B
    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.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I
    DIVISION I 103 Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I 2001 Championships OUTDOOR TRACK Highlights Volunteers Are Victorious: Tennessee used a strong performance from its sprinters to edge TCU by a point May 30-June 2 at Oregon. The Volunteers earned their third title with 50 points, as the championship-clinching point was scored by the 1,600-meter relay team in the final event of the meet. Knowing it only had to finish the event to secure the point to break the tie with TCU, Tennessee’s unit passed the baton careful- ly and placed eighth. Justin Gatlin played the key role in getting Tennessee into position to win by capturing the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Gatlin was the meet’s only individual double winner. Sean Lambert supported Gatlin’s effort by finishing fourth in the 100. His position was another important factor in Tennessee’s victory, as he placed just ahead of a pair of TCU competitors. Gatlin and Lambert composed half of the Volunteers’ 400-meter relay team that was second. TCU was led by Darvis Patton, who was third in the 200, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 100. He also was a member of the Horned Frogs’ victorious 400-meter relay team. TEAM STANDINGS 1. Tennessee ..................... 50 Colorado St. ................. 10 Missouri........................ 4 2.

She is the most famous female swimmer of Roman legend. 216 A.D. - The Baths of Caracalla, regarded as the greatest architectural and engineering feat of the Roman Empire and the largest bathing/swimming complex ever built opens. Swimming in the public bath houses was as much a part of Roman life as drinking wine. At first, bathing was segregated by gender, with no mixed male and female bathing, but by the mid second century, men and women bathed together in the nude, which lead to the baths becoming notorious for sexual activities. 600 A.D. - With the gothic conquest of Rome and the destruction of the Aquaducts that supplied water to the public baths, the baths close. Soon bathing and nudity are associated with paganism and be- come regarded as sinful activities by the Roman Church. 1200’s - Thinking it might be a useful skill, European sailors relearn to swim and when they do it, it is in the nude. Women, as the gatekeepers of public morality don’t swim because they have no acceptable swimming garments.

  • Commemorative Plaques Honoring LA City Prep Legends
    UNI HI EDUCATION FOUNDATION The sole, officially-authorized alumni support organization for University High School Commemorative plaques honoring L.A. City prep legends Dick Kampmann and Mel Patton to be unveiled at campus luncheon on May 15 LOS ANGELES, May 5, 2016 – Two men who made Los Angeles City High School sports history will be honored with massive plaques commemorating their achievements at University High School at an on-campus luncheon on May 15. In 1943, Mel Patton completed his second straight sweep of the 100-yard and 220-yard City titles and set school records that would not be broken for more than 30 years. Five years later, after completing his service in World War II, “Pell Mel” was the “World’s Fastest Man” heading into the 1948 Olympic Games in London and won two gold medals, in the 200 meters and 4x100 m relay. He is the only Olympic gold medalist in Uni history. Dick Kampmann never ran as fast as Patton, but he followed Patton’s legendary coach, Jim Pursell, at the West Los Angeles campus and went on to even greater heights. As mentor of the cross country and track & field teams from 1960-85, Kampmann brought eight All-City team championships to Uni, 77 Western League titles and 875 dual-meet victories. His athletes won 24 individual All-City championships and 252 league titles, in all divisions. For these achievements, the school’s new football field and track & field facilities were named “Kampmann Stadium” and “Patton Track” in ceremonies in October 2015. The naming effort was led by the Uni Hi Education Foundation (UHEF), devoted to supporting the school’s curriculum and programs in a time of diminished public funding.

  • All Time Men's World Ranking Leader
    All Time Men’s World Ranking Leader EVER WONDER WHO the overall best performers have been in our authoritative World Rankings for men, which began with the 1947 season? Stats Editor Jim Rorick has pulled together all kinds of numbers for you, scoring the annual Top 10s on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. First, in a by-event compilation, you’ll find the leaders in the categories of Most Points, Most Rankings, Most No. 1s and The Top U.S. Scorers (in the World Rankings, not the U.S. Rankings).

  • OLYMPIC GAMES LONDON July 29 - August 14, 1948
    Y.E.A.H. - Young Europeans Active and Healthy OLYMPIC GAMES LONDON July 29 - August 14, 1948 The Austerity Games The 1948 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XIV Olym- piad, were held in London , United Kingdom . After a twelve-year hiatus caused by the out- break of World War II ; these were the first Summer Olympics held since Berlin 1936. The 1940 Olympic Games had been scheduled for Tokyo , and then for Helsinki ; the 1944 Ol- ympic Games had been provisionally planned for London. The event came to be known as the Austerity Games, because of the difficult eco- nomic climate and rationing imposed in the aftermath of World War II . No new venues were built for the games and athletes were housed in existing accommodation at the Wembley area instead of an Olympic Village , as were the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and the subsequent 1952 Games . A record 59 nations were represented by 4,104 athletes, 3,714 men and 390 women, in 19 sport disciplines . Germany and Japan were not invited to participate in the games, however, the Soviet Union was invited but chose not to send any athletes. Great Britain almost handed the 1948 games to the United States due to post-war financial and rationing prob- lems, but King George VI said that this could be the chance to restore Britain from World War II . The official report of the London Olympics shows that there was no case of London being pressed to run the Games against its will. In March 1946 London was selected ahead of Baltimore , Minneapolis , Lausanne , Los Angeles , and Philadel- phia .
