Silver Medalist Dara Torres Says Daughter Is Awesome

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

Dara Torres, 41, a three-time silver medalist at the Beijing 2008 Olympics, says that her 2-year-old daughter loves the water and that she's "awesome."

Torres says to NBC, about her daugther with partner, David Hoffman, "Tessa's awesome.  She's a fun kid and she just absolutely loves the water."

When Dara made the Olympic team, she knew she would have to be away from her little girl for a month since the toddler wouldn't be able to make the trip to Beijing.  But Dara is looking forward to telling her daughter all about it when she's old enough to understand.

Torres says, "I'm gonna tell her how much she was a part of this.  The sacrifices, the hard work, but still trying to balance the motherhood....I just know it's going to be so much fun when she finally can understand, and I can share all of this with her."

Dara is certainly an inspiration to women everywhere!  She's won Silver for: Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay, Women's 50m Freestyle and Women's 4 x 100m Medley Relay.

Congrats!
