Klaus Dibiasi

Klaus Dibiasi, born on 6 October 1947 in Solbad Hall, Austria, to Italian parents who returned to Italy when he was a child, is a former Italian sports diver who competed in four consecutive Summer Olympics from 1964. He dominated the platform event from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s and is the only Olympic diver to have won three successive golds, in 1968, 1972 and 1976, after a silver in 1964. A silver in the springboard in 1968 made five Olympic medals in all, and he is the only diver to have won medals at four Summer Olympics. He won four medals at the first two FINA World Aquatic Championships, in 1973 and 1975, and eleven national platform and seven springboard titles. He was the first Italian to become an Olympic diving champion and was coached by his father Carlo, himself a 1936 Olympian, before he later coached the Italian diving team.
