Greg Louganis

Louganis won springboard and platform gold at both Los Angeles 1984 and Seoul 1988, and in Los Angeles he became the first diver to score more than 700 points in a platform final. The Seoul springboard win came after he struck his head on the board in the preliminaries and returned to dive with stitches. He combined the era's hardest dives with entries and body lines that judges consistently placed above everyone else.
