By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Simone Manuel<\/strong> won her first Olympic gold medal, she could hardly believe that the digit \u201c1\u201d was next to her name on the scoreboard, and almost instantly, she was flooded by emotion.<\/p>\n

One year later, when Manuel captured her first individual World title in the same 100 free, she was far more reserved\u2014no tears this time. After sharing Olympic gold with Canada\u2019s Penny Oleksiak<\/strong> in Rio, she got to stand on the podium by herself this time in Budapest.<\/p>\n

This win, though, was just as improbable as the upset Manuel pulled off last year in Rio.<\/p>\n

Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> was not going to be beat in the women\u2019s 100 free at the World Championships. No way\u2014she\u2019d been nipping away at the world record all year and had finally smashed it on the first night of the World Championships. Leading off the 400 free relay, she had punched the wall at 51.71, well under Cate Campbell\u2019s<\/strong> previous world record of 52.06.<\/p>\n

Five days later in the individual final, Sjostrom flipped first in 24.75, under her own world record pace. Manuel was in second, but she was a half-second behind.<\/p>\n

Sound familiar? It should\u2014last year in Rio, Campbell had just recently broken the world record, was in lane four for the final and was out ahead and under world record pace at the 50-meter mark, with Manuel was a half-second behind.<\/p>\n

But with 25 meters to go in that race, Campbell was fading. At 15 meters, she completely lost her tempo. Manuel was charging, and Oleksiak swooped in at the last minute, and\u00a0the two women tied to pull off one of the Games’ most stunning upsets<\/p>\n

The moment was Manuel\u2019s long course breakthrough, her first individual medal as well as her first gold. After that, Manuel\u2019s confidence soared, and the results in the year since have spoken for themselves.<\/p>\n

Returning to Stanford for her sophomore year, she plowed through the NCAA season, winning two individual national titles and leading Stanford to the team\u2019s first championship in 19 years. In the early part of the long course season, she consistently dropped time in the 53-second range, much faster than she swam even in the lead-up to the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

She had finished second behind Mallory Comerford<\/strong> in the 100 free at U.S. Nationals, but she still had earned her spot to swim the event at the World Championships, and more rest was to come.<\/p>\n

A medal chance in the 100 free? Sure, most definitely. Gold? Not likely, not with the way Sjostrom had set the sprint world on fire through the first half of 2017 as her sprint free abilities suddenly matched her already-premier sprint butterfly.<\/p>\n

But as she came down the home stretch in the 100 free, Manuel was not dropping off the pace\u2014in fact, she was charging. With about 10 meters left, Sjostrom\u2019s stroke tightened up, and she was fading. The collapse was not nearly as pronounced as Campbell\u2019s at the Olympics, but all spunk in Sjostrom\u2019s freestyle had vanished.<\/p>\n

Manuel pounced on the opportunity. She snuck her fingertips in just ahead of Sjostrom\u2019s– 52.27 to 52.31.<\/p>\n

Manuel was still a half-second off the time Sjostrom had put up leading off the relay, but it didn\u2019t matter. For a second straight year, she had a gold medal in her best event.<\/p>\n

As fast as Sjostrom had been swimming race after race throughout the year, Manuel never believed that the 23-year-old Swede was unstoppable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always think I have a shot,\u201d Manuel said. \u201cI think that\u2019s the reason that\u2019s why I\u2019m the swimmer that I am. I try to race, and I try to get my hand on the wall first. I just had confidence in the training I had done.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"pernille-blume-den-simone-manuel-usa-sarah-sjostrom-swe-medals2-2017-world-champs\"

Sjostrom was devastated, in disbelief that she had blown all her steam too early in the race and wasted an opportunity to win a World title.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so stupid to go out in 24.7. You shouldn\u2019t do that. No one can handle that,\u201d she said. \u201cFour hundredths of a second is nothing. And they showed the race and I saw my finish. It was horrible. You don’t deserve to win gold if you swim like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But to take nothing away from Manuel: 52.27 is a heck of a time. She now ranks as the fourth-fastest performer in history, trailing only Sjostrom, Campbell and Britta Steffen. She took back the American record from Comerford, who had broken Manuel\u2019s previous mark leading off the U.S. 400 free relay five days earlier.<\/p>\n

She had won the first World title for the United States in the event since 1998, when Jenny Thompson<\/strong> won gold in Perth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was two at the time,\u201d Manuel pointed out. \u201cIt\u2019s great to bring American sprinting back to the forefront, along with Mallory and the others we have behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Make no mistake: Manuel has led the charge in returning sprinting to a position of great strength for the U.S. women, just 13 months after the Olympic team left Trials in Omaha, Neb., to the tune of major concerns about the state of the 50 and 100 free. Needless to say, those worries are long gone.<\/p>\n

Now, Manuel continues to ride that wave of confidence, the one that she has been on since Rio, that she can beat anyone in the world when swimming head-to-head. Twice now, she has backed that up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
