Asian American Draves took home the first gold medals awarded to women in platform and springboard diving at the 1948 Olympics.&amp;nbsp; Born to a Filipino father and English mother, Draves' first coach segregated her from other divers at her swimming club, owing to her Filipino last name.&amp;nbsp; She was instructed to change her last name to her mother's maiden name in order to compete.&amp;nbsp; Along with fellow athlete Sammy Lee, Draves became the first divers of Asian descent to win Olympic gold.&amp;nbsp; Following the Olympics, she toured internationally in water show and later operated a diving training program with her husband in California.&amp;nbsp; Draves was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1969.
