Christina Seufert Sholtis (born January 13, 1957 in Sacramento, California) and raised in Ambler Pennsylvania [1] is an Olympic diver from the USA. Seafert qualified for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team but did not compete due to the U.S. Olympic Committee's boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, Russia. She was one of 461 athletes to receive a Congressional Gold Medal instead.[2] She dove for the USA at the 1984 Olympics, where she won a bronze medal in the Women's 3m Springboard event.[3]
