                       Born in 1949,Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes,she had Olympic dreams,but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didnˈt stop her from going forward. Instead,she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete,she was well­conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long­distance swimmer,she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance,danger,cold,and exhaustion.
                       For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the worldˈs best long­distance swimmers. In 1970,she swam a ten­mile marathon in Lake Ontario,setting the womenˈs record for the course.In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
                       Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978.Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide,it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days,she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so,she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short;she believed she had touched the other shore.
                       When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer,she continued to try new things — travelling the world as a reporter,writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others,just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

              She had to pack up her bedroom in Virgina Beach,where she lived with her mother,two sisters and brother.She had to say goodbye to her two dogs,who used to sleep in her bed,and to the beach,where she loved to ride waves on her boogie board.
              But it was time to take the leap,however,heartbreaking and awkward it would be.Even at 14,Douglas knew that.
              So off she went about 1,200miles to West Des Moines,Lowa,to train with a coach from China and live with a white family she had never been met.When she arrived,Douglas thought that she must be the only black person in the state.When she woke up,she always said,"This isn't my bed set.Where am I?"

              That move also was important in Douglas's making history.By winning the Olympic all-round title,she became the first black woman to do so.She also became the fourth American woman to win the all-round,following Mary Lou Retton in 1984,Carly Patternson in 2004and Nastia Liukin in 2008.
              Douglas won,scoring 62.232points,and led the competition from beginning to end.Viktoria Komova,who sobbed into her coach's chest when she learned she had lost,won the silver,with 61.973points.Aliya Mustafina,the 2010world all-round champion,won the bronze with 59.566points.The other American in the competition,Aly Raisman finished fourth after losing a tiebreaker(决胜局) to Mustafina.
              Douglas said she had felt confident all along that she would win."It was just an amazing feeling,"she said,giggling(咯咯笑)."I was just like,believe,don't fear,believe."After sacrificing(牺牲) so much,she had no other choice but to push forward,she said.
