Andrea Spendolini Sirieix is a 20 year old student-athlete based in London, who is most well known for her diving success. She is Britain’s most decorated female diver, who has amassed a plethora of medals so far in her career. She most recently won a bronze medal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, and is a multiple world medalist, two-time European and Commonwealth Champion, and six-time national champion. She also won the BBC Young Sports Personality of the year in 2020 and to round off an incredible Olympic cycle, she was named European Female diver of 2024, and The Sunday Times Young sportswoman of 2024.

While she became well-known for her diving, Andrea stands for much more and wants her legacy to stretch far beyond the diving board. Through her faith, her own lived experiences and her values, she aims to create lasting change in how young people, and people of all ages see themselves. In an age where your worth is defined by how many followers or likes you gain, the grade on your exam sheet, or how much money you have in your bank account, Andrea wants everyone to know that their worth and ultimate identity does not reside in these things. They are worth so much more, and in a world that encourages them that they can only be one thing, Andrea wants them to reach for more.

As she works towards the 2028 LA Olympic Games, she will not limit herself to being “just a diver”. She will continue to learn and grow in her love for photography, she will remain curious and compassionate to share the untold and unfinished stories of so many incredible people around the world, and, most importantly, will not shy away from sharing her own experiences to hopefully help at least one person.
