Simone 1st Afro-American lady to win swimming gold

Simone Manuel became the first African-American woman to capture an Olympic gold medal in swimming.
•    The 20-year-old Manuel upset world-record holder Cate Campbell and tied with Penny Oleksiak of Canada at the Rio Games on Thursday.
•    Campbell was on pace to take her world record even lower when she made the turn out front, with little sister Bronte right behind her. 
•    But the Australian siblings, who teamed up to lead their country to gold in the 4x100 freestyle relay, couldn't hang on. Bronte faded to fourth, and Cate dropped all the way to sixth at the finish.
•    Manuel's victory took on extra significance in a sport that still has few people of color, especially in light of the racial divide in her country. 
•    Until now, Cullen Jones had been the face of swimming for minorities in America, having won two golds and two silvers at the last two Olympics.
•    But Jones failed to make the U.S. team this year in what could have been his final attempt.
