BATON ROUGE — LSU sophomore diver Lizzie Cui has been selected to represent New Zealand on the three-meter springboard at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the country’s Olympic committee and Diving New Zealand announced Tuesday.
Cui’s selection to the team marks the first time since 1992 that a diver will compete for New Zealand in the games. The Auckland native is just the fourth female diver in her country’s history and the sixth overall.
“This is really a dream come true, and it could not have come at a better time,†Cui said. “I can’t believe that I am going to my first Olympics at such a young age, and to be the first diver to represent New Zealand at the Olympics since 1992 is surreal. I cannot wait to compete and my country and make LSU proud.â€
Cui, who joined the LSU squad in January, is diving coach Doug Shaffer’s first Olympian. The sophomore is just the second diver in school history and the 14th swimmer or diver to earn a spot on an Olympic team.
