»Olympic diver
I began diving when I was very young. Both my parents were competitive divers so it has always kind of been in the family. My first competition was the European Championships in Vienna in 1995 and my first Olympic appearance was in Atlanta the following year.

As a person I am single-minded, goal-oriented and usually cheerful. I like having plenty to do and prefer having lots of people around me. I like painting too.  

The Olympic Games in London will be my fifth Olympic appearance and I hope and expect that it will be an amazing event. I will be pulling out all the stops to dive better than I have ever done before.

Anna Lindberg shares her Olympic experience with a Lumix G3 and a Lumix FT4.

Win a Lumix TZ30!

Congratulations, Joakim!

Wow! A lot of people wanted to try to guess what Anna had taken a photo of. “A trampoline” was the right answer, and Joakim Darforth was one of the people who guessed correctly and wins first prize – a Lumix TZ30. Congratulations to Joakim, and a big thank-you to everyone who took part!
