Biography

For many years, Ewa Olliwier was the leading lady in Swedish diving in spite of the difficult training conditions. Female divers had to start their sessions at 5 AM. Nevertheless, she managed to win the bronze medal in high diving in the 1920 Olympics. Four years later Olliwier narrowly missed the medal ranks when she placed fourth. In 1927 she won the bronze medal in platform diving at the European Championships in Bologna.
