Source-derived summary

Annett Gamm (born 28 May 1977) is a German platform diver. She is a two-time Olympian (2004 and 2008), a multiple-time German diving champion, and a four-time consecutive gold medalist in the women's synchronized platform at the European Aquatics Championships (2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008). Gamm is also a member of the diving team for Dresdner SC, and is coached and trained by Frank Taubert, who competed in the men's springboard and platform events at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, representing East Germany.

Diving career

At age twenty-seven, Gamm made her official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where she competed in two platform diving events. She placed fourteenth in the women's platform by six points ahead of Austria's Anja Richter, posting a total score of 478.20. She also finished in sixth place, along with her partner Nora Subschinski, in the women's synchronized platform, by four points behind the Mexican team (Jashia Luna and Paola Espinosa), with a score of 303.30.

In 2007, Gamm reached her breakthrough season in diving, when she and her partner Subschinski earned a bronze medal for the same discipline at the FINA World Championships in Melbourne, Australia, accumulating a score of 306.63 points. At the 2008 European Aquatics Championships in Eindhoven, Netherlands, Gamm captured her fourth consecutive gold medal (the first being done in 2002), along with her partner Subschinski, in the women's synchronized platform, with a total score of 336.63.

Four years after competing in her first Olympics, Gamm qualified for her second German team, as a 31-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She first teamed up with Subschinski in the women's 10 m synchronized platform, but managed to finish fourth in the final by one point ahead of the U.S. team (Mary Beth Dunnichay and Haley Ishimatsu), recording their final score at 310.29.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “olympic diver” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104344. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1977, 2004, 2008 and 2002.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
