Emily Boyd (diving), is one of four Queenslanders on Australia’s diving team in Birmingham, she will compete in the 3m and 10m individual events, as well as the 10m synchronised with Nikita Hains. Emily was born in England and did gymnastics before being attracted to diving after watching a friend’s training session. The family moved to Australia a week later and just a few days after arriving in Brisbane, the then 12-year-old went to a school holiday clinic at Chandler and she was hooked. Making remarkable progress, Emily was part of the Australian team for the 2012 FINA World Junior Championships, before making the senior titles in Barcelona the following year where she finished 4th in the 10m platform synchronised with Lara Tarvit. Not long after, Emily announced she would be competing for Great Britain, before finally returning to the Australian fold in 2017.
