Jordan Windle — also known as "Little Louganis," a nickname that hearkens back to the out Olympic champion who took the gold in 1984 and 1988 — is headed to the Olympics in Tokyo this summer. And his out gay dad, Jerry Windle, will be there to watch him compete. Jordan's Olympic journey began, improbably enough, in his birthplace of Cambodia, NBC Sports recounted. His parents died when he was still an infant, but he was adopted by Jerry Windle, "an American who had reportedly struggled to adopt in the U.S. as a single, gay man." Per the article, Jerry "adopted Jordan when he was 18 months old and helped nurse him back to health from malnutrition, scabies, intestinal parasites and severe infections. When Windle was 7, he attended a summer camp where he was spotted by Tim O'Brien, the son of Hall of Famer diving coach Ron O'Brien." That connection seemed freighted with destiny, as it turned out. "O'Brien had seen something in Windle that reminded him of one of his father's most decorated divers: Four-time Olympic champion Greg Louganis," Olympics.com notes in its profile on Jordan. "It prompted the nickname 'Little Louganis.'" Jordan proved O'Brien right: He won "four U.S. junior titles," Outsports.com recalled. "Along the way, Jordan and Jerry co-authored a children's book based on their family experience called, 'An Orphan No More: The True Story of a Boy.'"
