His is a true American story, though not the story of a typical hero. Ridiculed and tormented throughout his childhood for who he was, Greg Louganis would find solace in his art, which he learned to master early in life. Possessing a talent and drive so rare and special, Louganis achieved the closest thing to perfection ever witnessed in the sport of diving. After winning 5 Olympic gold medals, and doubling with gold medals in the springboard and platform competitions in successive Olympics, he is internationally recognized as the greatest diver who ever lived. This collection is as good as winning the Gold. Very little related to his Olympic competitions, but a massive compilation of medals from Greg Louganis’ amateur career. Includes the following awards and medals: 1988 Seoul International Diving / Synchronized Swimming Meet, ‘89 National Hero Award - a golden cylinder (9” tall), ‘73 Boys Towers California State 1st place medal, ‘70 Far Western Age Group Diving, ’86 U.S. Olympic Festival (Houston), ’72 Region XIII Diving Championships (Boys 11 & 12), many AAU championships, ’85 National Sports Festival VI, ’80 U.S.A. - Canada International Invitational Diving Meet in Osaka (large 3.25” gold medal with ribbon), ’76 Amateur Athletic Union of the U.S. champion, many Junior Olympics medals, IFBB Most Outstanding Physique of the “80’s” medal (3”), ’73 Gemeente Brasschaat German medal, ’86 U.S. Olympic Festival - men’s springboard (Houston), ’87 Olympic Festival, & countless more.
