Georgia V. Coleman (January 23, 1912 – September 14, 1940) was an American diver. She competed in the 3 m springboard and 10 m platform at the 1928 and 1932 Olympics and won one gold, one bronze and two silver medals. Domestically she collected 11 AAU titles.[1]
At the 1932 Olympics, where she won the gold medal in the 3 metre springboard, Coleman announced her engagement to the Olympic diver Mickey Riley, but the marriage was cancelled. In 1937, she contracted polio.[2] She learned to swim again, but two years later developed pneumonia as an after-effect of the polio, and died at the age of twenty-eight.[1]
