Dmitri Sautin

Sautin won Olympic medals at five consecutive Games from 1992 to 2008, eight in all, including platform gold at Atlanta 1996 and synchronised springboard gold at Sydney 2000. He was among the first to perform some of the highest-tariff dives of the 1990s on both board and tower, and his longevity across the arrival of synchronised diving is a strong test of all-round quality.
