Life

Briony Christine Cole was born in Melbourne in 1983.

As a child, Cole competed in gymnastics, which led her to diving. With Sharleen Stratton, she won gold at the Commonwealth Games in the 3 m synchronised event. She backed that up in 2007 with a silver and bronze medal at the World Championships. Then in 2008, with Melissa Wu she won a silver in the 10 m synchronised platform at the Beijing Olympics.[1][2]

Cole was born to Mary and Wayne Cole and has an elder sister Sian.[2] She has bachelor degrees in teaching and applied science (human movement, 2005) from Deakin University. After retiring from competitions she worked for the Australian Sports Commission as a regional coordinator in the Active After-School Communities program.[3]

gollark: Nim's ecosystem is very immature, so I had to do a lot of hacky patching.
