Introduction '''''Breaking the Surface''''' is a best-selling book by Greg Louganis, co-written with Eric Marcus published in 1995.The book spent five weeks at number one on the ''New York Times'' Best Seller list.Louganis chronicles his winning of back-to-back double gold medals at the 1984 Summer Olympics and 1988 Summer Olympics, and his self-doubt and lack of confidence that held him back personally and professionally because of concealing his sexual orientation as a gay athlete. This is about him coming out as an HIV-positive gay man.As a follow-up to the success of the book, Canadian television and film director Steven Hilliard Stern directed ''Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story'' in 1997, starring Mario Lopez as Louganis, with Louganis also appearing in certain scenes of the television film and as narrator. Louganis also produced a video diary called ''Looking To the Light'', which picked up where ''Breaking the Surface'' left off.
