Krysta Palmer (born June 13, 1992) is a diver from the United States.[1]
Palmer competed for the University of Nevada, Reno where she was named the school's top female student-athlete in 2015–16.[2]
International career
Palmer qualified for the 2020 Olympics in both the women's synchronized 3 meter springboard with a partner Alison Gibson and then women's individual 3 meter springboard, both due to the high degree of difficulty of their dives.[3] She won bronze in women's individual 3 meter springboard at the 2020 Olympics for the USA's first individual medal in the 3-meter event since Kelly McCormick in 1988 in Seoul in any event since Laura Wilkinson's gold in 2000.[4][5][6]
