Laura Wilkinson is one of the most accomplished American divers of all time.  Representing the U.S. Olympic team in Athens, Sydney and Beijing, Laura won platform gold in 2000, the only Gold medal for the U.S. Olympic diving team in the three Olympics.

On her website, http://www.laurawilkinson.com, she has featured a video I took of her during the 2008 Olympic Diving Trials in Indianapolis this summer.  In the video, Laura performs a 307c (reverse 3.5 somersaults tuck), one of the hardest dives done by women (or men) off the platform, with SPECTACULAR  results.  Scroll down to the bottom of the main page on Laura’s site to find my video, or click this link to see my video directly on YouTube.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you are), this video is a Cynthia Potter-Free Zone.
