Louganis won the gold medal in both the 3m springboard and the 10m platform events in diving at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles and the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. He also won a silver medal in the 10m event at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada.

His personal story took a dramatic turn in 1988 when he tested positive for HIV. He kept his health status a secret even though he exposed his team doctor to an open, bleeding wound after an accident in the 10m event.

The athlete came forward with his story in 1995 in an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he talked about being gay and living with HIV.
