“I told my mother not to cry! My dream are Jo from Los Angeles.”

Daria Silișteanu smiled long after leaving the pool. He smiled at the interviews, smiled on the podium, smiled in the pictures with the medal after the podium. “I have no words to describe, it was an extraordinary race! Never in my life I have not thought about it ”, she said about the race in which she conquered silver.

But it was not easy to keep certain states when he entered the beach before the final. “Very excited. I saw my parents, friends at home. Everyone, I couldn't believe it. During the race I didn't hear anything, but before and after I kept very hard. I had a little and I cried. I saw the mother who started crying. But I kept on my feet and I didn't cry.”

Daria Silișteanu and the tactics in the race

It was fifth after the first length of the pool, but he made a second incredible part, finishing in second place. She said this was the tactic established: “To leave a little easier than yesterday. Yesterday evening I left a little loud and on the second side I died. But it was very good now.”

After leaving the pool, the mother waited for her to hug her. “My mother was crying and I told her not to cry anymore. My sister was crying too, but I didn't get to see her dad. I will probably see him after recovering, everything I had to do. They were at Samorin, but now everything was different.“

Daria Silișteanu corrected a record of Diana Mocanu

With a time of 1: 00.02, she set a new national record, correcting that of Diana Mocanu, who has resisted since 2000 and was 1: 00.21. “I went into my account and the last record that resisted. It's a very big thing, even though it is not under a minute, as I wanted. There are only two hundreds until 59, there is no too big difference. I am waiting for the European year, in the 50, and maybe I will succeed.”

He spoke with his coaches, Luis Lăcătuș and Andrei Pinticanu. “I saw myself with the coaches, they also said that I am now opted for not going 59, but yes, I am fine. I am very happy about the time I have. It is an extraordinary time for me and we hope for the best, from the year I will stay that way.”

Behind this medal is a lot of work-from the coaches, and on my part, that I draw daily in the water, and from the parents, the staff. The whole staff is in this medal and I can say it's their medal

Daria won this year the European junior title in this test. “It was a very psychic year, more because I saw that everyone was on vacation and everyone was gone. I was at the basin all day and I was getting more and more to get here. That was a very difficult year, but the competitions were beautiful, with very beautiful results.”
