Pat McCormick won gold on the springboard in Helsinki, the first of her four Olympic diving gold medals, as she would win the double/double in both Helsinki and Melbourne. Second-place went to Frenchwoman Mady Moreau, who was born in Vietnam, and had been seventh on the springboard in 1948. Her silver medal broke a run of American medal sweeps in women’s springboard that went back to 1920. The bronze was won by Zoe Ann Olsen-Jensen, who had been the silver medalist in 1948, as Zoe Ann Olsen, before her marriage to major league baseball star Jackie Jensen.
