Remembering Victoria Manalo Draves -- the first Asian American woman to win gold at the Olympics

75 years ago this month, Victoria “Vicki” Manalo Draves took home gold medals in the 3-meter springboard and the 10-meter platform at the 1948 Olympic Games in London. This made Vicki the first woman to sweep the diving events, the first Asian American woman to win any Olympic medal, AND the first Asian American to win an Olympic gold medal.
