Biography

China’s Fu Mingxia was the top female diver of the 1990s. She has been at her best on the platform, winning the Olympic gold medal in that event in 1992 and 1996, and was World Champion in 1991 and 1994. In 1996, Fu won both the springboard and platform at the Olympics, duplicating the feats of Vicky Draves (1948), Pat McCormick (1952-56) and Ingrid Krämer (1960), who also won both events at the same Olympics. Fu retired briefly after the 1996 Olympics, but returned to compete in the 2000 Olympics, defending her springboard gold medal and winning a silver medal in the new synchronized springboard event.
