Greg Louganis‘ life story, from becoming the most decorated individual diver in Olympic history to hitting his head on the springboard at Seoul 1988 while secretly competing HIV positive to coming out as a gay man and financial struggles are chronicled in an 87-minute documentary airing on HBO on Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.
“The thing that I learned about going through the whole process was I’m a lot more resilient than I give myself credit for,” Louganis, 55, said in a phone interview last week.
“Back on Board” featured footage and interviews from Louganis’ Olympic competition from 1976, 1984 and 1988.
