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. [2] She is also a top 8 finalist at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea.
Danila competed only in the women's 100 m backstroke at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. 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. [5] [6]
At the 2001 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Danila defended her silver medals each in the 100 m backstroke (1:05.10) and in the 200 m backstroke (2:23.47), finishing behind Thailand's top favorite Chonlathorn Vorathamrong by more than a full body length. [7] [8]
Two years later, at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, Danila failed to medal in any of her individual events, finishing ninth in the 100 m backstroke (1:06.44), and eighth in the 200 m backstroke (2:22.19). [9] [10]
