Diving career

At age nineteen, Richter made her official debut for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where she placed eleventh in the women's platform, with a score of 408.45.

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Richter achieved her best diving career result, with a seventh-place finish, in the women's platform, posting a total score of 313.38. She also teamed up with her partner Marion Reiff in the women's synchronized platform, but narrowly missed out of an Olympic medal by seven points behind the Australian team (Rebecca Gilmore and Loudy Tourky), recording their final score at 294.00.[4]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Richter, however, fell short in her bid for a twelve-woman final, when she finished fifteenth in the women's platform by six points behind Germany's Annett Gamm, with a total score of 472.44.

In 2006, Richter reached her breakthrough season in diving, when she won a silver medal for the same discipline at the European Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, accumulating a score of 332.35 points.[5][6] She also achieved a fifth-place finish at the FINA Diving World Cup series in Changshu, China, by one point ahead of Canada's Marie-Ève Marleau, with a total score of 331.65.[7]

Twelve years after competing in her first Olympics, Richter qualified for her fourth Austrian team, as a 30-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She placed twenty-second out of twenty-nine divers in the preliminary round of the women's platform event, by two points behind France's Audrey Labeau, with a total score of 287.70.[8] Shortly after the Olympics, Richter announced her retirement from diving career to work as a lecturer and officer for the Ministry of National Defense and Sport.[9]
