Olympic diving champion who recorded the highest-scoring dive in Olympic history — also author, MC and cabaret performer
Matthew Mitcham OAM is an Olympic champion and sporting icon admired globally. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics he recorded the single-highest scoring dive in Olympic history, earning four perfect 10s — a feat that remains one of the most extraordinary moments in the sport. He was named 2009 Sports Performer of the Year and 2010 Australian Male Diver of the Year, and in 2015 was runner-up on Dancing with the Stars.
Matthew is more than an outstanding athlete. He is an acclaimed cabaret performer, the author of Twists and Turns, and an accomplished public speaker. His compelling life story — that of an aspirational high achiever — reveals both the strength and the fragility of the human spirit. He is also a campaign ambassador for the Youth Voice Project, the Active Arts Program, Ending HIV and ACON HIV Testing Week, lending his profile to causes that matter.
Audiences get an Olympic champion who can hold a room as comfortably as he once held a diving board — whether delivering a keynote, hosting an event as Master of Ceremonies or sharing his story in conversation. For motivational keynotes, sporting events and conferences seeking a speaker with genuine range, Matthew Mitcham offers the rare combination of one of the greatest single performances in Olympic history and the honesty to tell the whole story behind it.
