“Had you asked me about cliff diving five years ago, I would have laughed. I didn't even like 10m,” Aimee Harrison recalls from her beginnings. “Genevieve Bradley - my blessing and curse into this lifestyle! I owe it all to her persuasive personality.”
Single appearances in both 2019 and 2021 yielded 9th and 7th place finishes respectively for the self-proclaimed diving late bloomer, who only started after she had turned 15 and specialised in 3m springboard. In 2022, the proud Canadian finally secured a sizeable run of competitions, appearing at four out of the eight overall stops.
Despite three of them being below-par displays, Harrison did offer fans a glimpse of her true potential when she secured a career-high 5th place in Oslo. Having missed out on a podium spot by just 15 points in the Norwegian capital, the 29-year-old couldn’t quite build on that promising display last season, earning a pair of 9th place finishes in 2023.
