Blood, gold and secrets at the Olympic pool.

Before Greg Louganis was a diver, he was a dancer. Tap dancing to Gene Kelly routines, he learned timing and rhythm.

But Greg is also famous for one of the biggest shocks in Olympic history – cutting his head on a diving board, and the revelations that followed.
