New Documentary to Tell Story of Greg Louganis, America’s Great Gay Olympic Diving Champion
Olympic diving gold medalist Greg Louganis has given his blessing to a documentary by Cheryl Furjanic and Will Sweeney, which tells the story of Louganis’s unforgettable and inspiring diving victory at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, his subsequent coming out and disclosure that he was living with HIV, and his ongoing activism and return to the pool.
Joe Klamar is a celebrated photographer for the Agence France-Presse. But when he shot Olympic athletes at a Dallas, Texas, hotel during the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Media Summit this May, his shots weren’t received so well.
In fact, many of the photographs received harsh criticism from news sites and photo blogs for their apparent defects—”citing the off-hand poses, the stressed lighting, the scarred backdrops,” as press materials explain—and seemed to be critical of the American Olympic athletic team, including Michael Phelps, Alex Meyer, and Jonathan Horton.
It highlights the fact that these athletes, treated like celebrities, are often manufactured through the ways in which they are photographed and presented to the public. “You will not see world-class athletes like this anywhere,” the exhibit promises. The Powerhouse Arena will present these images to a U.S. audience beginning July 27, and we have a selection here to get you in the mood for the sports that begin tomorrow.
