Career

O'Brien is a 10m platform diver. She currently trains at Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre. Brittany was unable to qualify for the 2016 Rio Summer Olympic Games after coming third in the 10m platform event at the Australian Diving Championships. Brittany unexpectedly received a late call up on 30 July 2016 to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics after Brittany Broben was forced to pull out of the event due to a shoulder injury. The result for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games had Brittany qualify for the semi-finals of the women's 10m platform and come overall 15th in the event.[3][4]

In 2018 she competed at the Commonwealth Games where she placed 6th. She continues to train in Sydney and works towards qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
