About Keynote Speaker Dara Torres
At the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, Olympic Speaker Dara Torres became the oldest swimmer to compete in the Olympic Games. She took three silver medals home, including the heartbreaking 50-meter freestyle race, where she missed the Gold by 1/100th of a second. America loved her all the more for her astonishing achievement and her good-natured acceptance of the results.
Today, Dara is a highly sought after Motivational Keynote Speaker for corporate conferences, leadership summits, fundraisers and especially women’s conferences.
As of 2019, this sports speaker was inducted into the United State Olympic and Paralympic Hall of Fame among other Olympic legends.
In total, the Olympic swimmer has competed in five Olympic Games and has won 12 medals in her entire Olympic career. Her impressive performance in Beijing and her attempt at the 2012 London Olympic Games has inspired many older athletes to consider re-entering competition.
