Oleksiy Viktorovych Sereda (Ukrainian: Олексій Вікторович Середа; born 25 December 2005) is a Ukrainian diver.[1] He is the 2019 European champion in the 10 metre platform event. He competed in the 2024 Olympic Games for Ukraine.[2]

Career

Sereda made his Ukrainian national team debut in 2019, at the age of 13. At the World Championships he placed 4th in both individual and synchronized (with Oleh Serbin) dives on 10m platform.[3] As a result, he qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in individual competitions.[4]

Sereda became the youngest ever Europe champion on 11 August 2019, after winning gold in the individual 10 metre platform competition at the 2019 European Diving Championships.[5][6] He also won a silver medal with his partner Oleh Serbin in synchronized diving. At the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo he finished 6th in the 10 metre platform event.

The 2022 European Aquatics Championships was a success for 16-year-old Sereda. He won a gold medal in the 10 metre platform with a significant gap over runner-up British diver Noah Williams, a silver medal together with 15-year-old Kirill Boliukh in the 10 metre synchro platform and a silver together with Sofiya Lyskun in the mixed 10 metre synchro platform.[7]

With Boliukh, he placed 5th in the men's 10 metre synchro platform event at the 2024 Olympics.[2]
