释义
Draves, Victoria
American athlete
née Victoria Manalo, byname Vickie
born Dec. 31, 1924, San Francisco, Calif., U.S.
American diver who was the first woman to win Olympic gold medals in both springboard and platform diving, accomplishing this feat at the 1948 Olympic Games in London.
Draves' father was Filipino, and growing up in San Francisco during World War II she confronted racism; a swimming club required her to alter her last name in order to train in its facilities. She was already a noted diver at the age of 16, and in 1946 she won her first U.S. outdoor highboard diving championship, marrying her coach, Lyle Draves, the same year. She retained the highboard championship in 1947 and 1948 and also won the indoor 3-metre diving championship in 1948. Draves excelled in platform diving, and at the 1948 Games she accumulated 68.87 points to win the platform event. In the springboard event she earned 108.74 points to finish just 0.51 point ahead of fellow American Zoe Ann Olsen and win the gold. She was inducted into the Swimming Hall of Fame in 1969.
