Monday OUT Profile: Greg Louganis

Greg Louganis is clearly the world's greatest diver and a fine athlete. At the 1988 Olympic Games he was awarded the Maxwell House/United States Olympic Committee Spirit Award as the Olympic athlete who had best exhibited the ideals of the Olympic spirit, demonstrated extraordinary courage and contributed significantly to the sport. Greg is more than just a diver, he stands out as a human being as well. Greg speaks out for many organizations including youth clubs, drug and alcohol rehabilitation groups, and organizations for the dyslexic.

Greg's autobiography, "Breaking the Surface," spent five weeks at number one on the New York Times Best-Seller List. He then produced a Video Diary called "Looking To the Light," which picked up where "Breaking the Surface" left off. His second book, "For the Life of Your Dog," has just been published.
