- 301/29/1960Greg Louganis, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of diving, emerged as one of the most extraordinary athletes of his time. Born in El Cajon, California, in 1960, Louganis was adopted at nine months old by a Greek-Serbian couple who recognized his athletic talents early on and encouraged his foray into acrobatics and dance. However, it was in the discipline of diving that Louganis found his true calling, displaying a unique blend of grace, strength, and precision. Louganis's meteoric rise in the international diving scene began when he won a silver medal in the 1976 Montreal Olympics at just 16 years old. This triumph marked the beginning of an illustrious career that would span over a decade, marked by remarkable achievements and unprecedented victories. He went on to win two consecutive double golds in the 3m springboard and 10m platform events at the 1984 Los Angeles and 1988 Seoul Olympics - a feat unmatched in male diving history. Notably, his victory in Seoul came despite hitting his head on the springboard during the preliminary rounds, epitomizing his tenacity and resilience. Off the diving board, Louganis led a life marked by honesty and courage. In 1995, he made headlines beyond the sports pages when he publicly announced that he was gay and living with HIV, breaking barriers in a time when both subjects were steeped in stigma and misunderstanding. His autobiography, Breaking the Surface, candidly chronicles his personal struggles and triumphs, offering an intimate look at the man behind the medals.

- 4006/26/1961Gregory James "Greg" LeMond (born June 26, 1961) is an American former professional road racing cyclist who won the Road Race World Championship twice (1983 and 1989) and the Tour de France three times (1986, 1989, and 1990), and is considered by many to be the greatest American cyclist of all time. He is also an entrepreneur and anti-doping advocate. LeMond was born in Lakewood, California, and raised in ranch country on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, near Reno. He is married and has three children with his wife Kathy, with whom he supports a variety of charitable causes and organizations.In 1986, LeMond became the first non-European professional cyclist to win the Tour de France, and he remains the only American cyclist to have won the Tour after Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven straight Tour de France wins in 2012. LeMond was accidentally shot with multiple pellets while hunting in 1987 and missed the next two Tours. He returned to the 1989 Tour, completing an improbable comeback by winning in dramatic fashion on the race's final stage. He successfully defended his title the following year, claiming his third and final Tour victory in 1990, which made LeMond one of only seven riders who have won three or more Tours. He retired from competition in December 1994. He was inducted into the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame in 1996. LeMond was the first American to win the elite Road World Championship, the first professional cyclist to sign a million-dollar contract, and the first cyclist to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated when the magazine named him as its Sportsman of the Year in 1989. During his career, LeMond championed several technological advancements in pro cycling, including the introduction of aerodynamic "triathlon" handlebars and carbon fiber bicycle frames, which he later marketed through his company LeMond Bicycles. His other business interests have included restaurants, real estate, and consumer fitness equipment.LeMond is a vocal opponent of performance-enhancing drug use, and at times his commercial ventures have suffered for his anti-doping stance—as in 2001, when he first accused Lance Armstrong of doping and sparked a conflict that eventually led to the dissolution of his LeMmond Bicycles brand in 2008, which was licensed by Armstrong's primary sponsor, Trek Bicycles. As the lone American winner of cycling's most prestigious race, LeMond has not enjoyed the public stature that might be expected of such a figure, but he continues to campaign publicly against doping and ineffective leadership by the UCI, the international federation for cycling. In December 2012, LeMond even articulated a willingness to replace the UCI president on an interim basis if called to do so. In December 2013, the LeMond brand was revived, manufactured in partnership with TIME Sport International.More Greg LeMond

However, he won the title back in a rematch with Pazienza in 1988. He defended the title against Miguel Santana and future WBO welterweight champion Gert Bo Jacobsen. He lost the IBF Lightweight title to Pernell Whitaker in 1989 by decision, it was his biggest paycheck at that time at $426,000.On February 23, 1991, he captured the WBO Light Welterweight Title with an upset victory over then undefeated Hector Camacho by split decision, an outcome that resulted from Camacho being deducted a point for illegally hitting Haugen when Haugen refused to touch gloves at the beginning of the last round. After his fight with Camacho; Haugen tested positive for marijuana and was fined $25,000. Later that year Haugen lost a rematch with Camacho, again by split decision.

On February 20, 1993, he challenged Mexican legend Julio César Chávez for the WBC Light Welterweight Title at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, a fight attended by 132,247 spectators. Haugen's legacy is likely best defined by the Chavez fight, but not for his performance in the ring. Leading up to the bout, Haugen made the comment that many of Chavez’s wins "came against Tijuana taxi drivers that my mom could whip." This generated a huge uproar in the Mexican community and ignited publicity for the bout. Within seconds of the opening round, Chavez dropped Haugen with a straight right hand, but rather than dispatching of him quickly, pulled back with the intent of punishing him for his pre-fight remarks. After several more rounds of punishment, Chavez dropped him again in the 5th round, and after delivering another barrage of punches, the referee intervened and waved it off. It marked the first stoppage loss of Haugen's career. Afterwards, Haugen remarked: "They must have been very tough taxi drivers." Haugen never again challenged for a major belt. When asked in an interview who was the greatest fighter he ever fought, Haugen replied, "Hands down, Pernell Whitaker. He made excuses for his loss to Chavez which he was still struggling to come to terms with, describing it as his "biggest regret".He retired in 1999 with a record of 40–10–1 (2 NC).
