5:06Now PlayingGreg Louganis is the only male diver to sweep the diving events in consecutive Olympics winning golds in springboard and platform in 1984 and 1988. In 1988 Louganis startled the world when he struck his head on the board and bled into the pool during preliminary rounds of the Olympic Games. Louganis was petrified; not because of his injury, but because he had recently been diagnosed with HIV. There was not as much information available about the virus at that time, so he kept his diagnosis a secret. Despite there being little risk to any of the other divers, Louganis received criticism for not going public about his condition sooner. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube
