Victoria Manalo Draves was a Filipina American diver who grew up South of Market. She was the first Asian American gold medalist, the first American woman to win two gold medals in diving, and the first woman of any nation to be awarded gold medals for both platform and springboard in the same Games (London 1948) in Olympics history.
