Louganis is the greatest. He was poetry in motion. Be never rushed. Looked relaxed. Exquisite.

As an NCAA diver myself (late 70’s), Greg has always been the very best I’ve ever watched. His grace is unmatched in my book. The most basic dive in the book, his Forward layout is textbook perfect!

His entries into the water are perfect!!!

Absolutely beautiful. I remember once during one of his Olympics a commentator who had run out of superlatives said, "And on top of it all, he gets extra points simply for showing up in a bathing suit". Meaning his physical presence was itself beautiful.

I know absolutely nothing about diving. But I can recognize the beauty in his movements ^^

He is an absolutely graceful athlete. Wow. He has a gift.

I swear to God on some of those dives the water simply opened up and accepted him. Some of those splashes could scarcely be called such.

Diving without splashing is called "ripping" the dive, and he did more often than anyone else. For a long time, Louganis was the only diver with perfect scores in both the 3-meter and 10-meter events.

Legendary diver, or a legend. Finish your sentence.

He retained the art form of body movement from the air, into the water. That was some magnificent diving.

Unless we all forgot Greg owned the 10m as well. Simply the best diver ever. Met him a while back. Such a nice guy. Couldn't ask for more. Great role model top bloke.

I cried watching his documentary. He is my hero. He is so absolutely strong and inspiring!

I never missed an event when Greg Loganis was competing. He was so elegant!

WOW. This is diving. You can tell this man loves the water.

he's half Samoan....its in his genetics to love water ❤

Greg Louganis' dives looked so strong, yet so artistically pure, it made me think of what athletes would have looked like at the first Olympics in Greece. I always found his most simple dives the most pure and beautiful. Sad about his childhood and struggles in life, I was so happy to see him involved with Red Bull Cliff Diving and had to search these dives. ❤

Funny to see him flash that smile before one of his last, technical dives. Very pretty telling about how composed he was even though one blown dive would have cost him. Brilliant on all fronts.

Never saw a great, consistent diver even upto now like Greg… so much grace when diving.

Who was the journalist who said, "there are two categories of divers. There are those who perform with magnificent skill, grace, beauty, and courage. Then there is greg louganis." ? Whoever he was he called it.

The greatest diver EVER!

One of the most elegant divers to this day!

He was so incredibly talented. And handsome. I was 11 at the time and obsessed with gymnastics, but i tuned in to watch him.

He's still untouchable to this day!

Louganis was beautiful to watch.

Didn’t know diving could look that aesthetic

Greg movements is like a song performed by notes, the weight of a hummingbird ... The charm of sound in the middle of nowhere .... What athlete, man and fantastic jumper ... Every day I see the jumps his fictions delighted with the love he puts every jump every move ... will appear another? No! The answer already exists, it is fantastic !!!!

I remember a fluff piece where the Chinese studied Greg’s form because he was so perfect. They used it to train their divers.

Greg is a true American hero.

The best diver ever to grace the world stage. Not only was he technically almost perfect, and in some cases perfect, his elegance and symmetry we're out of this world.

Divers of today might be perfect or almost perfect technically but the grace and elegance of Louganis, never.

I am putting together a montage of his dives and finally getting a Wheaties box for a Video Editing class at the University of Texas at Austin. I could watch him for hours. Love the music on this clip.

He is the best of all times 😎😎😎

Everyone should just marvel at the three and a half twisting reverse at 01:22. Not only was it executed perfectly, but the entry was flawless. Just amazing.

This is beautiful!

Paris 2024 just ended and I had to look up Greg Louganis vids. He got me interested in diving many years ago. The Chinese are super technical, but Greg had an elegance they don't come close to matching. I still think he is the best diver of all time.

Was this after he hit his head on the board? I wish that had been shown to give it greater context. Greg was amazing in these dives. His form in the air, his entries... sheer perfection!

Unbelievably talented athlete

Has never been anyone better than Greg.

TALK ABOUT BEAUTY IN MOTION ! WOW AND HOW !

He's such a perfect diver of all time .and looked nice at this age. Saw him last night on TV ccoking show "Chop" he still looks great.

As elegant, beautiful, and as “perfect” as any human being has ever been, or ever could be.

I remember watching this on tv when i was young,i never thought someday i going there in seoul korea.I love olympic.

Still here in 2024. He is a legend ❤

The Art of Diving

Очень красивый мужчина ! По сложности технике и грациозности прыжков даже в наше время ему нет равных !!!

Greg Louganis is God in the Air!

Even the way he pointed his toes was perfect.

Excelente deportista y gran leyenda y ejemplo para otros jóvenes con las mismas aspiraciones

Увидела видео как Грэг ударился головой о край трамплина ! Душа в пятки ушла от страха за него ! Сильный смелый и мужественный парень !

He was so close to the water....he had to get it done much quicker. Always a joy to watch him!

Loved watching him dive! Such an amazing, beautiful diver! ❤️🤍💙

This is the BEST DIVES i have seen so far in my existence. :)

WOW! WHAT A PERFORMANCES! Simply... AMAZING.

Don't forget he came back after a head injury. It is always difficult to make a comeback. And what a comeback it was. Perfect

Last dive went so incredibly close to the board... Again.

Champion! Never give up👏

Loved watching him dive, so graceful.

Graceful! He made it look easy!

That spot on his head is when he bust his head in the games came back and won gold INCREDIBLE

Beautifully done!!!! Amazing !!!

Campeón,que perfección en todos los saltos ,unoparece un Cristo en la cruz pero a la inversa,Cuanto trabajo!!! Smerece ser campeón olímpico

He's the diving GOAT.

Look at 1.11 who the hell these days has time and grace like that to wait during the reverse. For those who say he isn't strong enough. He damn well was he just made it look effortless. The Chinese took all footage of his hurdle and based all their training on that. Like MJ to basketball Greg was just made to dive.

he was fabulous. amazing to watch.

The way he made diving look so easy, he's the goat.

Pure perfection!

Perfection!!!!

He should be awarded a medal higher than a gold medal..

Greg Louganis IS Diving!

Every single one of his dives were perfection! Greg Louganis is a legend. He barely made one splash just textbook perfect. I am actually wowed. 😱

Consummate Style, Grace, and Class. I adore him!!

A champion in his own time is THE champion of that time. I am sure he would do what is necessary today to have been a champion. Sport moves on and improves. You cannot compare.

In 88, I watched this and said Id dive off the high dive before i started college...still working up the nerve lol! Even the divers at a div 3 school, with no scholarships, were amazing!

Of course, this is most beautiful diving!

Amazing diver! Remarkably legendary!!! 😎😎😎

It's really perfect...wow

Gorgeous on all facets. The greatest

SENSACIONAL !!! PERFEITÍSSIMO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Truly deserve a gold medal

The absolute perfection in every dive sets him apart from any diver there is.

he looks like he's very much at ease with himself

Yo creía que la perfección no existía!

Poetry in motion.

Just wonderful--perfection!

Excelent Greg you still impress to the audience

He was/is an incredibly nice guy as well.

legendary !!!

Goat of diving. 🥇

Greg is the best diver on the planet.

Certainement le meilleur plongeur de tous les temps...

Those are some mad diving skills. His entry on every single one was perfect!

And, he still dives with that precision, barely a splash. Amazing!!

how do you know?

I just remember that being in the news when it happened, it actually happened at the Olympics on an earlier dive but he won anyway, he really was the best ever! I think they gave him stitches and probably had to shave the area.

his entrance in the water is almost fish like

I'm happy to comeback, Gerg Louganis.
