Hi, my name is Alysha Koloi and I am a diver living in Brisbane, Australia. My main event is the 3m springboard and I am incredibly proud to have been selected to represent Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

I began diving in 2015 when I joined the Chandler Diving Club, and since then, I have achieved several career highlights. These include winning a bronze medal at the 2018 Junior World Diving Championships and becoming the reigning World Champion in the women’s 1m springboard after securing gold at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships in Doha. Additionally, being selected to represent Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics is a highlight I am immensely proud of. I am eager to continue my success on the international podium.

Diving is an incredibly beautiful sport that has helped me grow both physically and mentally. It challenges me not only to be strong and powerful but also to be consistently graceful and technically perfect. The sport has taught me about determination and perseverance and as each dive demands precise execution and flawless technique, as well as resilience in dealing with setbacks such as injury that require a shift in mindset to overcome challenges that at times I cannot control. 

My biggest inspiration is Maddison Keeney, who I have the privilege of training alongside every day. Her mental and physical strength inspires me to be better not only as an athlete but as a person and her experience and words of wisdom has helped me immensely in achieving my own Olympic dreams.

Why I Need Your Support

As an elite athlete, it can be very difficult to balance paid employment with training and competition commitments, along with daily recovery, nutrition and, physical preparation requirements.  Support from financial contributions will allow me to cover costs associated with being an elite athlete and give myself the best preparation possible leading into the 2024 Paris Olympics and beyond. Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring me one step closer to realising my Olympic Gold medal dream.

·      Training

·      Nutrition

·      Recovery

·      Training equipment

·      Travel to and from training and competitions

·      Living expenses

·      Accommodation
