Did You Know Segment:
The First Asian American ATHLETE to win an Olympic Gold Medal was a Filipina American woman? Her name is Vicki Manalo Draves. In fact, Vicki won 2 gold medals in the 1948 London Olympics. She won her first gold medal in springboard diving two days before her teammate, Sammy Lee, won his medal in platform diving. Sammy is the first Asian American “man” to win an Olympic gold medal for the US.
To his credit, Sammy, who is often mentioned by the media as the first Asian American Olympic gold medalist, introduced Vicki to her diving coach and future husband, Lyle Draves. Sammy served as best man at Vicki and Lyle’s wedding.
Vicki grew up in San Francisco. Her father was Filipino and her mother was English. Sammy grew up in Los Angeles, the son of Korean immigrants.
Both Vicki and Sammy had groundbreaking performances in individual competition, but what’s overlooked is their relationship as good friends and teammates against a backdrop of discrimination and bias.
