Diving Great Greg Louganis to Marry in Fall
Former Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis plans to get married this fall.
People magazine says the 53-year-old Louganis will marry paralegal Johnny Chaillot.
The four-time gold medalist is the only man to win consecutive Olympic titles in springboard and platform diving — in 1984 at Los Angeles and 1988 at Seoul.
After his diving career ended, Louganis revealed he was gay in 1994 and announced he was HIV-positive a year later.
Louganis is helping Olympic hopefuls as an athlete mentor for USA Diving.
He's also been featured as a coach on ABC's reality diving competition "Splash".
(If you really wanna know him better read his very candid autobiography,"Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story"or see the "muy caliente", Mario Lopez, portray him in the 1997 movie.I had the honor of watching this amazing athlete in 1994's Gay Games in NYC. The guy flies from a diving board, it is truly a thing of beauty. Friends who know him say he's a sweet man as well. ) |
