You can't spell inspiration without T-O-R-I. And Tori Martin is nothing short of inspirational. She swam before she could walk. Through swimming, Tori found purpose, routine and stability. Now, she swims, spins, runs and rows for 6+ hours every day. She took home gold in the 100m IM (high-performance) and bronze in the 100m freestyle (high-performance) at 2018 Special Olympics USA Games. Her next goal: earning gold on a world stage in Abu Dhabi. Her favorite part of Special Olympics has been "meeting new people and hanging out with my teammates at events." Besides swimming, Victoria likes to workout with fellow Special Olympics athlete Jerry Holy.
