Simone Manuel and Penny Oleksiak came in together, touched the wall and did the unusual: They tied for the Olympic gold medal in the 100m freestyle event last night. That was one thing... but in doing it... Simone Manuel became the first African-American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in swimming. As she said, "It will be nice when people just think of me as another swimmer winning a gold."
