Former University of Georgia diver Freida Lim was officially confirmed for the 2020 Summer Olympics diving competition Tuesday morning by FINA, the sport’s governing body.
Lim will represent her home nation of Singapore in the women’s 10-meter platform event, making her the female Olympic diver in the country’s history. She is also the first Georgia female diver to ever make an Olympic roster.
Two previous male Bulldogs have appeared at the Games: current diving head coach Chris Colwill competed for the United States in 2008 and 2012, while former volunteer diving coach Cesar Castro represented Brazil in 2016.
