About Katelyn Fung

Katelyn Fung is training at the Canadian Diving Institute in Montreal, under coach Yihua Li.  Fung is originally from London, Ontario, where she developed her diving skills at the Forest City Diving Club. 

Fung, a third generation Canadian whose grandparents came over from Hong Kong, started diving in 2012 at age eight. She started her sport journey in gymnastics and discovered the sport at a March Break camp when a friend suggested that she try diving. She was hooked on the sport immediately and discovered that she preferred landing in the water than on the ground.  

The highlight of her competitive career so far is the 2019 Junior Pan Ams which were held in Santiago, Chile. It was her first appearance at the event, and she was the only Canadian to compete in four events, she won a medal in each one: gold on platform synchro, silver on one-metre and bronze on platform and three-metre. 

In 2022, Katelyn demonstrated remarkable growth at the FINA World Junior Diving Championships, securing a silver medal in the Group A girls’ 3m springboard final. Her consistent performance and ability to handle high-pressure competitions underscore her potential as a key figure in Canadian diving​. At the Winter National Championships in 2025, Katelyn finished first at the 10 m event.  

Her younger sister Alexa is also a nationally ranked diver. Katelyn Fung was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan where her father was finishing his residency at the University of Michigan.
