  • David Snively (born July 1960) is a Canadian former diver, who was selected to represent the Canadian national diving team at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow before Canada announced a boycott of the event in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, instead having to settle to a trip to either Asia or Europe. At this time, he was considered among the best divers in Canada and during a tour of Europe, won a gold and silver medal in Madrid, as well as a bronze in Split, Yugoslavia. In 1981, he was the men's overall champion of the Canadian National Winter Diving Championships. He spent the next several years preparing for the 1984 Summer Olympics, only to fall short on each of the high tower and springboard trial events, finishing 3rd in each with only two berths available in each event on the national team. Following his failure to secure a place in the 1984 Olympics, Snively retired from competitive diving. He realized his dream of becoming a world champion in 2017, when he won gold medals in the men's 1-metre, 3-metre and platform events during the FINA World Masters Championships in Budapest. As of 2022, he runs a fitness studio. (en)
