Trying Olympic year ends in disappointment for Simone Manuel. Tokyo2020 TeamUSA
The American sprinter failed to advance to the 50-meter freestyle final in Tokyo. She finished tied for 11th in the semifinals on Saturday. The top eight made Sunday’s final.
The chaotic single-lap race was Manuel's only individual event in Tokyo, where she was a co-captain of the U.S. women's team. She didn't qualify at the Olympic trials in the 100 free and wasn't able to defend her historic title won five years ago at the Rio de Janeiro Games. She revealed at the trials that she had been diagnosed with burnout earlier this year, forcing her to stop training for a time after thepandemic had already disrupted her Olympic preparations. She rallied at trials to qualify for the 50 free.
