Simone Manuel was the first Black female swimmer to capture an Olympic gold medal.
Simone Manuel gives a thumbs up after competing at the Pro Swim Series event Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024, in Knoxville, Tenn. Manuel was the first Black female swimmer to capture an Olympic gold medal. Now she's coming back from a debilitating case of overtraining syndrome, her body breaking down in the leadup to the 2021 Tokyo Games.
She's as determined as ever to make her third Olympics, but she knows there are things far more important than touching the wall first.“I've always been a person who likes to dream big, who has very aggressive goals,” said Manuel, who claimed her historic gold when she tied for the top spot in the 100 freestyle at the 2016 Rio Games. “It would be unfair of me to lower my standards.
Manuel moved to Arizona State University in suburban Phoenix to work with Bowman and his top assistant, Herbie Behm — a move that had a huge impact on her recovery. That's just what happened to Manuel, who had always figured — like so many of her fellow athletes as well as coaches — that the only way to keep improving was to push her body even more. As the Tokyo Olympics approached, she couldn't understand why her times kept getting worse and worse even though she felt like she was working harder than ever.
