Greg Louganis, Janet Evans, Edwin Moses to appear on Wheaties boxes
U.S. Olympic champions Greg Louganis, Janet Evans and Edwin Moses will appear on Wheaties boxes for the first time next month.
Louganis is most noteworthy, for there was a petition to put the four-time Olympic diving champion on the iconic cereal box following his 2015 documentary, “Back on Board.”
In the film, Louganis said that he wasn’t as celebrated as other 1980s Olympic champions.
“Never got a Wheaties box,” Louganis said in the film. “Their response was that I didn’t fit their wholesome demographics or whatever. Basically, being gay, or being rumored that I was gay.”
