Maddison Keeney, born on May 23, 1996, in Auckland, New Zealand, emerged as a prominent figure in Australian diving. She moved to Perth, Western Australia, where she attended Churchlands Senior High School. Keeney’s career in diving has been marked by a decade of competitive performance, showcasing both power and grace, contributing to an era of increased difficulty in the sport. After completing high school in 2014, she relocated to Brisbane to further her diving career and concurrently pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Physics and Computer Science from the University of Queensland. She currently works for a major insurance company in Brisbane, balancing her professional and athletic commitments.
Keeney’s competitive achievements began significantly at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where she secured a silver medal in the 1m springboard event and a bronze in the 3m synchronised springboard with partner Anabelle Smith. This partnership later led to an Olympic bronze medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games in the 3m synchro. Her individual success continued with a gold medal in the 1m springboard at the 2017 World Championships. Despite missing the Tokyo Olympics due to qualification issues caused by COVID-19 and an injury, she achieved double gold at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games in the 3m individual and 3m synchronised events, the latter again with Anabelle Smith. She also earned a silver medal in the mixed 3m synchronised event with Shixin Li at the same Games, following only a week of training together.
Her career progressed with further international medals, including a silver in mixed 3m synchronised at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, and an upgrade to gold in the same event at the 2024 World Championships in Doha with Domonic Bedggood. In Doha, she also won a silver medal in the 3m synchro with Anabelle Smith. Keeney’s most recent Olympic appearance at Paris 2024 saw her secure a silver medal in the individual 3m springboard, marking her first individual Olympic medal, alongside a fifth-place finish in the women’s synchronised 3m springboard with Anabelle Smith.
