This is a new edition of Greg Louganis's 1995 #1 New York Times
bestselling autobiography and Literary Guild Selection. It is the
unflinchingly honest first-person account of a man breaking free of
a lifetime of silence and isolation.
Born to a young Samoan father and Northern European mother, and
adopted at nine months, Greg began diving at age nine, and at
sixteen won a silver medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. But
despite his astonishing athletic skill, Greg struggled with
late-detected dyslexia, prejudice toward his dark skin coloring and
anguish over his homosexuality, which he felt compelled to hide.
Being in the spotlight intensified his difficulties with
relationships and substance abuse.
However, Louganis went on to win double gold medals at the 1984 and
1988 Olympics. His triumph at the 1988 Olympics came several months
after he tested positive for HIV. This is the haunting, searingly
candid story of the world's greatest diver. This new edition
includes a new foreword.
