Sammy Lee defended his gold medal from London, winning quite easily in both the qualifying and final rounds. Mexican Joaquín Capilla won the silver medal, improving from his bronze in London. He would continue to improve and in Melbourne won this event to become the first Mexican to win an Olympic diving gold medal. Lee was a physician, specializing in otolaryngology (ear-nose-throat). He later also coached diving, with two of his pupils starring in the Olympics – Bob Webster, the 1960-64 platform gold medalist, and Greg Louganis, who won pretty much everything he entered.
