"The winning contestant" would be the subject phrase, with the gerund, "winning" functioning as the adjective to describe the contestant. "Diving for hours every day" would be a prepositional phrase, with the gerund, "diving" acting as the object of the prepositional phrase.

No. A prepositional phrase needs a noun, and it needs a preposition. It's called a "prepositional phrase" because it's not a sentence-- it can't stand by itself and make sense, and it's often used in a sentence to give more information. For example, "in the house" is a prepositional phrase. So is "at the zoo," "on the roof," "inside my wallet," "to the principal's office," and "under a bridge." There are many prepositions, but they include: in, on, to, at, under, over, etc. Here is how it is used in a sentence: "At the zoo, there are many interesting animals." Or, "Her teacher sent her to the principal's office." First, find the preposition ("at" in first sentence, "to" in the second), then find the noun, and chances are you have found the prepositional phrase.
