Career

At the 2010 Commonwealth Games, representing Scotland she competed in the Women's 3 metre springboard, aged only 14. At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, she competed in the Women's 1 metre springboard and Women's 3 metre springboard events. At her third Games, the 2018 Commonwealth Games held at Gold Coast, Reid won gold in the 1 metre springboard the first Scottish female diver to win a medal at the games.[1] Four years later in Birmingham, paired with James Heatly she won her second Commonwealth title in the mixed 3 metre synchronised springboard event,[2] came 4th in the women's 1 metre springboard event and 8th in the women's 3 metre springboard event.[3]

Reid made her debut for Great Britain at the 2015 European Diving Championships. At the 2016 European Aquatics Championships she won Gold in the Mixed 3 m springboard synchro with partner Tom Daley.[4] She also won Bronze in the Women's 3 m springboard becoming the first Scot to win an individual European Championships diving medal for Great Britain since 1954.[5]

Following Daley's decision to withdraw from all 2018 diving competitions, Reid partnered with Ross Haslam and the pair won the bronze medal at the 2018 FINA Diving World Cup,[6] followed by silver at the 2018 European Championships.
