much love that it had overcome all obstacles.

An illustrious Olympic career began by chance.
Jordan’s Olympic ambitions began when he was seven years old. At diving camp, he grabbed the attention of Tim O’Brien, the son of a well-known diving coach, Ron O’Brien. Jordan then enrolled in a specialized diving school and began to achieve his first achievements.

It was also at this time that he met Greg Louganis, an Olympic gold winner and LGBT activist. Little Louganis was his nickname.

Jordan qualified for the men’s platform event after three Olympic trials, the first at the age of 13 and the second at the age of 16.

Throughout the years, the strongest relationship has been between father and son.
Jordan will compete for the United States in the Olympics today, but he will also be representing Cambodia in his heart. He recently had the Cambodian flag tattooed on his arm so that when he dives, everyone can see it.

In 2011, the father and son co-authored a children’s book to commemorate their journey. The narrative of a rooster who was informed by other animals that he couldn’t be a father without a hen is described in the book An Orphan No More: The True Story of a Boy. He comes upon an egg that no one wants one day. The duckling hatches, but despite their dissimilar appearances, the two would prove that “where there is love, there is family.”
