Daniela Guerra Inácio (born May 24, 1989) is a Russian-born Portuguese swimmer, who specialized in open water marathon.[1] She represented her nation Portugal at the 2008 Summer Olympics, finishing seventeenth in the inaugural 10 km race.
Inacio competed as a lone female open water swimmer for Portugal in the 10 km marathon at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Leading up to the Games, she finished with a fourteenth-place time in 2:04:29.6 to take one of the eleven available Olympic spots at the 10 km Marathon Swimming Olympic test event in Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park.[2][3] Farther from the leaders by about eight body lengths, Inacio could not release herself from the middle of the pack to claim the seventeenth spot in 2:00:59.0, one minute and thirty-one seconds (1:31) behind winner Larisa Ilchenko of Russia.[4][5]
