Celismar Guzman - a young swimming champion

If you look at 8-year-old Celismar Guzman, she doesn't look strong at all. That is until you see her in the water, Guzman has already won a gold medal in the National Swimming Competition. And, no, that 8 is not a mistake. She is E-I-G-H-T!

Guzman started swimming as a hobby, like all her friends. She has been swimming for only 18 months, but she's already been named National Swimming Champion in her age group in her country. She believes that she can do everything she wants to do in the world of swimming. It's already her life.

Her swimming coach, Morag Betz, explained that Guzman, known as Celi, didn't start as a champion. She had to practice a lot to get here.

A few months ago she also took part in the Junior Olympics and she improved her time by 4 seconds. She came home with four gold medals and one silver medal. "I did really well in all the races," she said. "Now I am second in the whole United States for my age group."

She also says, "I am pleased with everything I have done. Both of my parents were athletes. Sport is what my family does." So what comes next for this 8-year-old winner in the water? "I want to win in the next Olympics," she said.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?

I loved lasagne. It all began when I was three years old. I flew to Australia with my parents on Singapore Airlines. On the plane, they served special food for children, and one of the dishes was lasagne. I fell in love with that dish immediately and ate a big portion. Since then, whenever we eat out in an Italian restaurant, I've chosen lasagne.

DID YOU HATE ANY FOOD WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?

Sure, I really hated fish. My mother loved it, so we had it almost every day. Although she cooked different dishes such as steamed fish, fried fish, or fish soup, I still didn't like the taste, the smell, or anything about it. The strange thing is that I liked fish nuggets at Kuick, and I had them sometimes on Sundays.

WHICH DO YOU PREFER: HAVING MEALS AT HOME OR EATING OUT?

My job involves traveling a lot, so I treasure any meal with my parents at home. It's our happiest time when we can gather together and share a lot of things. I love eating at home also because my mother is a great cook who can create unusual dishes with everyday ingredients.
