Olympian Greg Louganis is ready to make some changes.
The 65-year-old was a competitive diver who competed in the 1976, 1984, and 1988 Olympic Games, taking home four gold medals in the final three. In a recent post to his Facebook account, Greg revealed that he had parted ways with three of his Olympic medals.
According to Greg, he chose to auction off his medals in order to fund his move out of the country.

“So, as life moves forward, what are you prepared to leave behind? I am 65 years old, and I am asking just that. I am no longer who I used to think I was,” Greg began the post where he revealed he auctioned off a few of his medals.
“I have auctioned three of my medals, which sold, I believe, because I went against what the “experts” told me last time when I tried the first time,” Greg continued, explaining that “proper management” may have kept him from needing to sell them for money. “I told the truth; I needed the money. While many people may have built businesses and sold them for a profit, I had my medals, which I am grateful for.”
Greg said that he went on to sell, donate, and pack things to prepare to move to Panama.
On the future in his new home, Greg wrote, “Now I get to discover who is Greg Louganis? Without the distraction and noise from outside. At least this is my goal, and hey, I may not find that. I think I may find it at times, in moments, my goal is to live it! Discover, allow, and nurture that human spirit through the experiences of life.”
