Klaus Dibiasi (born 6 October 1947) is a former sports diver from Italy, who competed in four consecutive Summer Olympics for his country, starting in 1964. He dominated the platform event from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, winning three Olympic gold medals.
Biography
Dibiasi won a silver medal in platform diving at the 1964 Summer Olympics, and went on to win gold in the same event at the next three Games (1968, 1972, and 1976). Dibiasi is the only Olympic diver to have won three successive gold medals, and he is the only diver to have won medals at four Summer Olympics. A silver in the springboard in 1968 gave him a total of five Olympic medals. He also performed well at the first two FINA World Aquatic Championships (1973 and 1975), winning four medals. Dibiasi won 11 national platform and 7 springboard titles.
Dibiasi was born in Solbad Hall, Austria, to Italian parents, who returned to Italy when he was a child. He was the first Italian to become an Olympic diving champion. He was coached by his father, Carlo, a former Italian champion (1933–1936) and a competitor at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, who finished in tenth place. Klaus Dibiasi also later coached the Italian diving team.
