About Celina Toth
Olympian Celina Toth has been a national team member since 2008 and has, year after year, defied all expectations by setting and smashing goals on her own terms.
Toth grew up in St. Thomas, Ontario and was initially a gymnast but lost her passion for the sport by the age of 12. One of the gymnastics coaches had been a diver and suggested the sport. Toth called the Forest City Diving Club in London, ON on a Wednesday, tried out on Friday, and was on the team by Monday.
Toth’s first coach was Rob Wells. She worked with Ioana Marinescu for the majority of her junior career before moving to Victoria. The Ontario-native started with Tommy McLeod at Boardworks and is now coached by Lisa Boog and Jorge Bentacourt.
Toth has been on the Grand Prix circuit since 2012 earning nine medals, collected four medals at two World University Games and was a member of Canada’s 2018 & 2022 Commonwealth Games squad.
Toth achieved a lifelong dream by qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Toth believes nerves hampered her performance at the Games where she finished 23rd in the 10m platform event.
Toth won her first international medal in 2015, when finishing third in the 10m at the FINA Grand Prix in Madrid. Following that podium, she contributed a second Rio 2016 Olympic berth for Canada when she finished 4th in the semi-final at the 2016 FINA Diving World Cup, writing her ticket to the final.
Her favourite moments in the sport are when she can hear the crowd while underwater which signals that she executed a strong dive.
Toth has a BA in Psychology from the University of Victoria and has put her Masters in Social Work from the University of South Carolina on hold as she pursues the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
