‘We’re breaking down barriers through representation:’ Landmark Olympic moments for LGBTQ+ athletes 

It looked like there would be a Chinese clean sweep of all eight diving golds at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The host country had won the first seven events when it came time for the men’s 10m platform. Going into the last dive, China’s Zhou Luxin had a seemingly insurmountable lead. For Matthew Mitcham to become Olympic champion, he would need a perfect dive. And that is exactly what the Aussie delivered. Mitcham performed a two and a half somersault with two and a half twists in the pike position. That dive got him a breath-taking score of 112.10, the highest scoring dive in Olympic history.
