Elina Elisabeth Eggers (born March 12, 1987 in Stockholm) is a Swedish platform diver.[1] She is a thirteen-time Swedish diving champion, a four-time All-American athlete, and a two-time first-team Pac-10 All-Academic honoree.[2] She also won a bronze medal in the women's platform at the 2008 European Aquatics Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands, with a score of 319.65, earning her a spot on the Swedish team for the Olympics.[3]
Eggers represented Sweden at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed as a lone female diver in the women's platform event. She was ranked sixteenth out of twenty-nine divers in the preliminary rounds, until a much better performance in the semi-finals left Eggers in ninth position, attaining a score of 315.45.[4][5] Eggers, however, finished only in twelfth place by eleven points behind Japan's Mai Nakagawa, with a score of 285.85.[6]
Eggers is also a member of the swimming and diving team for the Arizona State Sun Devils, and an economics graduate at the Arizona State University in Glendale, Arizona.[7]
