Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix: On faith, family and finding joy in diving

The Game Changers

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix is the diving sensation who won Gold at the Commonwealth Games and European Championships last year and will be one to watch at the Paris Olympics where she’s competing in both the individual and synchronised 10 metre events.

Andrea openly shares her journey in sport and her passion to address stereotypes around aesthetics and body image. We explore the impact of intense training and competition on Andrea’s mental health after Tokyo, how her faith and a change in mindset have had a positive impact on her results. Andrea reflects on the joy she’s now found in the sport and her future ambitions.
