Dick Eve
Australian diver
Richmond Cavill "Dick" Eve (19 March 1901 – 13 March 1970) was an Australian diver who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics.[1] He won the gold medal in the plain high diving and finished fifth in the 3 metre springboard event.[2] He was the first Australian Olympic diver to win a gold medal. His brother was Australian sports administrator Jim Eve.
Eve was later barred from membership of Manly Amateur Swimming Club as he was considered a professional since he managed Manly baths and lived on site. His "professional status" meant he was ineligible for selection for the 1928 Summer Olympics.[3]
