Christie Marie Bodden Baca (born March 3, 1990) is a Panamanian former swimmer who specializes in backstroke events.[1] [2] She has been selected to represent Panama at the 2008 Summer Olympics, placing among the top 48 swimmers in the women's 100 m backstroke.

Bodden was invited by FINA to compete as a lone female swimmer for Panama in the 100 m backstroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[3] Swimming against Bermuda's Kiera Aitken and Paraguay's María Virginia Báez in heat one, Bodden faded down the stretch to round out the small field to third place in 1:07.18. Finishing last out of 48 entrants in her event, Bodden failed to advance to the semifinals.[4] [5]

A business management graduate of Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York, Bodden currently works as a brand manager for top selling brands in Panama.
