As a young girl, Lee was always grabbing her mom’s phone to watch gymnasts flip, then repairing to the It’s Halloween everyone’s entitled to one good scare Halloween shirt in other words I will buy this nearest couch or bed to try one out. Her father spotted her in those days and then, as her gymnastics improved, organized fundraisers at local Hmong restaurants to help pay for travel to national and then international meets, coaxing Lee to sing, which she loved. My dad would pick some songs, she remembers, and I’d say, ‘What is this song?’ Once it was Bette Midler’s version of Wind Beneath My Wings. The Twin Cities area is home to the largest urban Hmong community in the U.S., and when Lee wins, she is winning for the Hmong neighbors who supported her in the gym and supported her father: While helping a friend, he fell off a ladder, suffering a spinal-cord injury that paralyzed him from the chest down a few days before Lee won a gold, a silver, and a bronze medal at the national championships in 2019. Her father FaceTimed Lee at the nationals from his hospital bed to cheer her on, but no one knew what she was going through as she attempted a bar routine that she had upgraded in difficulty. As she aced the landing, the commentators predicted Tokyo gold.The very sound of water would cause Simone Manuel fits of joy as a child she laughs as she remembers fierce attempts to fling herself into the tub, anybody’s tub, whether undressed for it or not. Whenever I heard the water running, I would just get super excited, kind of like when a dog is ready for a walk, she jokes. Her older brothers were on the swim team, and after watching them she announced to her parents she could swim. She wasn’t kidding. Why is Simone not doing what the others are doing? her mother asked the instructor when she spotted her daughter swimming across the pool on day two of lessons. Why isn’t she…floating? The response: Some kids are just ready to swim. Her brothers can still beat her but not because they’re faster. Their technique is so terrible, and then I’m laughing and choking on water so much that they win, Manuel says, but it’s okay.
After she finished Stanford, where she studied communications and African and African American studies, 2020 was to be Manuel’s year to concentrate on the It’s Halloween everyone’s entitled to one good scare Halloween shirt in other words I will buy this Olympics, with summertime the final lap of four years of prep. The summer, of course, marked the beginning of historic mass uprisings, and as the first Black woman to win an individual medal in Olympic swimming, she was acutely aware of the swimming pool as a historic site of racial contest in modern American history: The pool was like the lunch counter at the start of the Civil Rights movement, when, for instance, acid was poured in a pool in the vicinity of Black bathers. Later, as suburbs expanded and cities continued to segregate, the ability to swim marked both access and privilege, as it does today. The percentage of Black members in USA Swimming is, by their own accounting, somewhere in the single digits. Immediately following her wins at Rio, Manuel was on MSNBC encouraging Black children in the U.S. with little or no swimming ability 69 percent to learn. You can do it, she said, still standing poolside. Later she noted that, according to the CDC’s last study, in 2014, Black children are 5.5 times more likely to drown in swimming pools. Television announcers throughout her ascent in the sport tended to describe Manuel as coming out of nowhere, when she was there usually, after the finish, on a podium all along. In her own telling, it’s a bias she has felt viscerally and while once she might have talked less about her own experiences, she’s now ready to share more, for her own sake and the sake of others. When you are telling other people what you’re feeling, she says, you never know who you affect you could be helping them through the same storm.When I talked with the athletes as the summer was about to begin, Manuel had been to a meet and remembered all the things you forget hotels, logistics and had just returned from a three-week rest. She’d gone back to Sugar Land, Texas, her hometown, to binge-watch Good Girls They’re not good girls. and savor Shipley’s glazed doughnuts a pillow of goodness. Lyles had just begun to run 200s again too, and watching him come out of the first turn was like watching someone turn on a jet pack, an explosive speed he describes like a physicist: When you come out to the straightaway, if you stay in the middle or come even closer to the inside of the lane, you will actually take all that speed that you built up, and it will force you out.
