Lizza Danila

Marie-Lizza Toinette Danila (born September 17, 1982) is a Filipino former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.

[1] She represented the Philippines, as a 17-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and later collected a total of six silver medals in a backstroke double at the Southeast Asian Games (1999, 2001, and 2003) before her official retirement in 2005.

She achieved a FINA B-cut of 1:06.19 after winning a silver medal from the Southeast Asian Games in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.

[3][4] Swimming in heat one, Danila, who just turned 18 on the second day of the Games, gave the Filipinos a further reason to celebrate, as she overhauled a 1:07 barrier and rocketed to a fantastic first-place finish in a sterling time of 1:06.48.

Danila's blistering triumph was not worthy enough to put her through to the semifinals, as she placed thirty-seventh overall out of 47 swimmers in the prelims.
