Two-time Olympic medallist Melissa Wu and Rio 2016 bronze medallists Anabelle Smith and Maddison Keeney will lead a nine-member Australian diving team at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) announced on Monday.

Melissa Wu is set to make history as the first Australian diver to take part in five Olympics. Wu won the silver medal in the women’s 10m synchronised platform event at Beijing 2008 and secured a bronze medal in women’s 10m individual platform at Tokyo 2020.

“Getting through trials, I knew it was going to be tough, there’s so many talented young athletes coming through,” the 32-year-old Wu said. “Now I can set my sights on Paris – I’ll focus on the process, if I can get that right hopefully the result will take care of itself.”

Anabelle Smith and Maddison Keeney were named in Australia’s Paris 2024 diving team in May.

This will be Anabelle’s fourth Olympic appearance while Maddison will be taking part in her second Olympics after injury prevented her from competing at Tokyo 2020.

The pair clinched the bronze medal in the women’s 3m synchronised diving event at the Rio 2016 Olympics and will be joining forces in Paris once again.

The squad also includes world champions Cassiel Rousseau and Domonic Bedggood with both of them competing in their second Olympics. Jaxon Bowshire, Kurtis Mathews, Alysha Koloi and Ellie Cole will make their Olympic debuts at Paris 2024.

Wu and Cole, the oldest and youngest team members of the team, will contest the 10m individual while Keeney and Smith will compete in the 3m synchro and Keeney and Koloi in the 3m individual.

On the men’s side, Rousseau will contest the 10m individual and partner with Bedggood in the 10m synchro. Bowshire will compete in the 10m individual event while Kurtis Mathews will participate in the 3m individual event.
