Diving

Smith competes in the 3 m springboard and 10 m platform synchro events.[6][7] She has a diving scholarship with the Australian Institute of Sport[2] and is a member of Gannets Diving Club.[2] She trains at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.[2] She competes with Sharleen Stratton, following the retirement of her former partner Briony Cole.[8]

Smith represented Australia at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, where she earned a bronze medal in the 10 m synchro platform with Cole.[2] Competing with Stratton she won a bronze medal in the 3 m synchro springboard at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships with a score of 306.90.[8] At the 2012 FINA Diving Grand Prix in Madrid she and Stratton finished second in the 3 m springboard synchro, scoring 293.58.[6]

Before the 2014 Commonwealth Games Smith severely injured the middle finger on her right hand, when it was squashed by metal plates of a weight training machine. She returned to diving after three months and wore a hand brace for another five months. She did not fully recover the mobility in that finger.[4]

Smith qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and competed in the Women's 3-metre springboard. She managed to get to the semi-finals.[9]

At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, held in Birmingham, England, Smith and her partner Maddison Keeney won the gold medal in the 3 metre synchronized springboard with a score of 316.53 points, which was less than 20 points ahead of silver medalists Ng Yan Yee and Nur Dhabitah Sabri of Malaysia.[5][10]

Personal life

Smith is of maternal Mauritian ancestry. She originally aspired to become a paediatrician, but abandoned the career path after realising she did not have the emotional control to work with sick children.[11]
