102. Japanese American Summer Olympians Among this year s Japanese American Summer olympic hopefuls are diver Kimiko Encyclopedia of Japanese American history An A to Z Reference from 1868 to http://www.janmstore.com/summerolympics.html

In a year filled with international conflict and unrest, the 2004 Summer Olympics seem more important than ever as a reminder of the ancient ideals of competition, culture, education, and peace that began the Olympic games as early as 776 BC. The return of the games to Athens, Greece-the original site of the Olympics-and the customary lighting of the torch are reminders of the true spirit of the event where athletes from many countries honor the Olympic Truce and compete, not for personal gain, but to represent the best that their country has to offer. The Olympics have been of long-standing importance to both the Japanese and Japanese Americans. Early immigrants brought traditional Japanese sports with them. For example, as more Japanese made their way to the U.S., judo classes began appearing in the Northwest. When judo was finally accepted as an Olympic event in 1964, Japanese Americans such as Paul Murayama, Kevin Asano, Patrick Mitsugi Burris, Nicki Yonezuki, Craig Agena and, more recently, Sandra Bacher and Liliko Ogasawara, became notable names in the sports world. At the 1948 Olympic Games, Harold Sakata became the first Japanese American to win an Olympic medal by capturing a silver medal in weightlifting. Before 1952, no Japanese American had ever won an Olympic gold medal. However, at the 1952 Summer Games in Helsinki, three Japanese Americans won gold medals. Tommy Kono, a Japanese American weightlifter who trained while incarcerated in the Tule Lake Relocation Center, made his mark in Olympic history, winning a gold medal and setting a world record in the Olympic games of 1952 and 1956. Yoshinobu Oyakawa won a gold medal in swimming, establishing a Olympic record in winning the 100-meter backstroke. Ford Konno won two gold medals in swimming, including the 1,500-meter race, in which he shattered the Olympic record. Ironically, the top three finishers in the race were all of Japanese descent - Shiro Hashizume of Japan and and Tetsuo Okamoto of Brazil finished second and third.

Michigan in the Olympics 1960 - Rome The U of M contingent in Rome included seven swimmers, two divers, a gymnast, and four track and field athletes. They earned two gold and a bronze for the U.S. and a bronze medal for Finland. Gus Stager, coach of the U.S. swimming team, saw Joan Spillane become the U of M's first woman gold medalist. Spillane finished third in both the 100 and 200 meter freestyle in the U. S. Olympic trials, earning her a place on the relay teams. In Rome, she swam the qualifying round in the 4x100 meter medley relay but did not race in the final, which the U.S. team won. In the 4x400 meter freestyle relay Spillane did not race the qualifying heat but swam the opening leg of the final. She clocked a very good 1:02.5 and did well to stay within three lengths of Australia's Dawn Fraser who set a world record of 1:00.2. Shirley Stobbs, Carolyn Woods and Chris von Saltza were able to make up more than that distance for a three length win in a world record 4:08.9. Gus Stager and Joan Spillane honored at ceremony at Michigan Stadium Robert Webster confounded the experts to win Michigan's second gold medal in diving, capturing first in the platform event. Only his coaches, Sammy Lee and UM's Bruce Harlan, both former Olympic gold medalists, gave Webster much of a chance against Gary Tobian of the U.S. and Britain's Brian Phelps. Saving his most difficult dives till last, Webster took the lead from Tobian with a near perfect 2 1/2 somersault on his second to last dive and held on to win the gold by the narrowest margin in Olympic history.

China, Biggest Winner of the Games China emerges as the biggest winner at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games which closed in Sydney Sunday night. The Chinese Olympic Delegation won a total of 28 gold, 16 silver, 15 bronze medals in the 16 days of competition, ranking third in the final medal standings, behind the US with 39 golds, 25 silvers and 33 bronzes and Russia, 32-28-28. Forty-nine countries and regions won at least one gold and 70 won at least a medal. Chinese athletes made Olympic history for the world's most populous nation by winning the most gold medals and also most medals, 59, ever at the Olympic Games since 1984. In 1984 in Los Angeles, China won 15 golds, eight silvers and nine bronzes. In 1988 in Seoul the Chinese athletes won only five golds, 11 silvers and 12 bronzes. In 1992 in Barcelona they won 16 golds, 22 silvers and 16 bronzes and four years ago in Atlanta they took home 16 golds, 22 silvers and 12 bronzes.

108. ISHOF - Greg Louganis (USA) - 1993 Honor Diver 1993 Honor Diver Greg Louganis (USA) olympic Games, a feat duplicated onlyonce in olympic history by women s champion Pat McCormick in 1952-1956. http://www.ishof.org/93glouganis.html

GREG LOUGANIS (USA) 1993 Honor Diver Known as the king of diving, Louganis reigned over his sport for more than a decade with grace, power, and unequaled precision. Winner of the coveted James E. Sullivan award for outstanding achievements in athletics in 1984, Greg established himself as the USA's best athlete. Not only is Louganis the only male diver in history to win both springboard and platform gold medals for diving in consecutive Olympic Games, 1984 and 1988, a third set of double wins would have probably been his, too, if it were not for the USA's boycott of the 1980 Olympic Games. One man who came close to matching Louganis' Olympic record was his first coach, Dr. Sammy Lee, who won consecutive platform titles at the 1948 Olympic Games in London and the 1952 Games in Helsinki. It was Sammy Lee who spotted the talents of Louganis in 1971 when Louganis scored a perfect ten at the age of eleven at the AAU Junior Olympics. Louganis was soon training with Sammy Lee and went on to win a silver medal at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. It was evident that Greg was on his way to becoming one of the best divers the world has ever seen. In 1978 Ron O'Brien, also a world-class diver like Lee, joined the staff at Mission Viejo. That year Greg won both World championships titles and defeated the long-time platform champion Klaus Dibiasi of Italy. For the next decade, Greg Louganis was the man to beat on the boards, dominating every national and international competition he entered.

In Athens, six individuals with ties to IU represented the United States, while one former IU athlete represented the host-country, Greece.Here is a brief recap of how each individual fared at the 2004 Olympic Games: Cassandra Cardinell along with former Hoosier All-American Sara Hildebrand finished seventh overall after faltering on their first dive of the finals of the synchro 10-meter event. The tandem scored only a 31.80 on their first dive of the evening before rebounding to finish seventh with a score of 302.22. The tandem scored an 80.58, their top score of the Olympics, on their most difficult dive. Sara Hildebrand wrapped up her Olympic Game competition in the finals of the 10-meter platform with a 10th-place finish overall. She scored 62.37 points on a 2 1/2 reverse somersault in the tuck position on her first dive. Hildebrand then netted 69.12 points on her second dive with an armstand back double somersault with 1 1/2 twists in the free position. In rounds three and four of the finals, Hildebrand missed with scores of 46.53 and 55.68. Once again, the former three-time Big Ten Diver of the Year scored her best dive on her last attempt. In the fifth and final round of the finals, Hildebrand did a back 2 1/2 somersault with 1 1/2 twists in the pike position for 6.5s, 7.0s and 7.5s. Her fifth round total was her only dive over 70 points at 70.38. She finished the event with a score of 484.77.

Michigan in the Olympics 1996 - Atlanta World record holder Tom Dolan won the United State's first gold medal of the Atlanta Olympics by defeating 1992 silver medalist Eric Namesnik in the 400 individual medley. In a race the two fierce rivals had been pointing towards during three years of training at Canham Natatorium, Dolan overtook Namesnik in the final fifty meters to capture the gold by 0.35 seconds. Despite suffering allergies and a condition that sometimes severely restricted his breathing, Dolan was expected to medal in the 200 individual medley and the 400 meter freestyle as well. He failed to qualify for the finals in the 400 and finished seventh in the 200. He did come away from Atlanta with another honor, however; General Mills put him on the Wheaties box.. Eric Namesnik, Tom Malchow, Gustavo Borges U of M freshman Tom Malchow, the youngest member of the U.S. men's swimming team, finished second in the 200 meter butterfly. Brazil's Gustavo Borges, appearing in his second Olympics, again competed in five events and garnered a silver medal in the 200 meter freestyle and a bronze in the 100 meter freestyle. U of M junior John Piersma turned in career performances at the trials to make the U.S. team in the 200 and 400 meter freestyle events. He did not make the finals in either event but finished 4th in the 200 meter consolation round and won the 400 meter consolation. Piersma actually finished tenth, one spot ahead of Dolan, in the final standings for the 400 meter freestyle.
