Simone Manuel’s Gold-Medal-Winning Reaction Was the Best Moment of the Rio Games

American swimmer Simone Manuel made history in two separate ways on Thursday night in Rio. Her time of 52.70 seconds in the women’s 100-meter freestyle—she tied for first with Canada’s Penny Oleksiak; both swimmers will get gold medals—set a new Olympic record. More substantially, she became the first black American swimmer to win individual Olympic gold.
