Siobhan-Marie O’Connor is one of Great Britain’s most accomplished female swimmers, winning medals at every level of competition that she has competed in, including silver at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Siobhan first competed for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics. At just 16 years old she was the youngest British swimmer on Team GB, finishing 21^st in the 100m Breaststroke and eighth in the 4 x 100m Medley Relay.

Siobhan-Marie O’Connor had a highly successful 2016, delivering an incredible performance in Rio to become the first British female to win an Olympic medal in the 200m Individual Medley after surging to silver. In doing so, Siobhan nearly caused one of the biggest upsets in the pool of Rio 2016 by almost beating Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu to the title and setting a new British record of 2:06.88 in the process. Two relay events saw Siobhan achieve a seventh-place finish in the Women’s 4x100m Medley relay, and a ninth place with the 4x200m freestyle quartet. Ahead of the Rio Games she Siobhan had won three medals at the 2016 European Championships in London, two relay golds and an individual silver.

This accompanied two bronze medals that she had won earlier in the Games in the Women’s 4x100m and 4x200m Freestyle relay.

Later in the year at the European Championships in Glasgow, Siobhan highlighted the consistency of her performances on the international stage, winning a bronze medal as part of the 4x100m Medley relay team, finishing 5^th in the 100m Breaststroke after winning her semi-final, and 4^th in the 200m Individual Medley.
