DR. SANJAY GUPTA REPORTS: Diana Nyad Xtreme Dream – Airs Saturday 8:00PM – 9:00PM and 11:00PM
Over 100 miles of open ocean – teeming with sharks and surging with strong currents – stretch between Cuba and Florida. In 1978, former Olympic swimmer Diana Nyad attempted the route, but failed, due to weather. In 2011, she tried again—this time at age 61—to conquer the dream that has eluded her. For two years, Nyad trained from the gym to the pool to the ocean—secretly at first – and CNN followed her tenacious pursuit of what she called “The Xtreme Dream.” Chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta interviews Nyad about her grit and determination to hone her body into a machine, to prove that big dreams were within reach and at any age.
