Seoul, 1988: Greg Louganis (Mario

water hits the diving board cutting
his head open. Splashing into the
water Greg begins to have
flashbacks: Being ridiculed by the
other neighborhood children and his
own unaccepting, overbearing father;
winning the silver medal; the 1982
world championship; to gold medals
in Los Angeles; the struggles of an
abusive relationship with Tom
Barrett; his father's terminal
cancer; Tom's losing battle with
AIDS and Greg's own HIV positive
status. After doctors in Seoul
stitch Greg's head wound, he returns
to competition and picks up two more
gold medals. After his dad's death
and Tom's lost AIDS' battle, Greg
courageously decides to go public
with every aspect of his life. |
