With her incredible natural beauty,
Torres was the first athlete to
appear among the supermodels in
Sports Illustrated's swimsuit
issue in 1994. (Imagine a woman who
looks as good as Cindy Crawford
or Kathy Ireland without even
having to wear makeup!) She has also
appeared on TV for Extreme Step,
The Next Step, Fox Sports
Sunday, NHL Cool Shots,
Tae Bo infomercials, Fitness
Spokesperson for Self Magazine,
and Turner Sports.
After retiring from competitive
swimming in 1992, Dana decided to
return to the Olympic lanes, and
began training in 1999. After some
work to her physique (she gained 10
kg in the space of a year) and a few
words of advice from her coach
Richard Quick, she lined up for
competition in the hope of grabbing
one of the Olympic berths for
Sydney. During the American Olympic
trials in Indianapolis she confirmed
her return to the fray by
registering the world's
third-fastest time in the 100m
butterfly (57.58 sec). At the Sydney
games she competed in the 50m
freestyle (winning the bronze), the
100m freestyle (bronze again) and
the 100m butterfly (even another
bronze), the 4x100m relay (gold),
and the 4x100m medley (gold).
