How about Simone Manuel? With all the build up for the Aussie sisters, the network barely even mentioned her before the race. An announce did say something like "If Manuel medals, it would be a first for an African American swimmer"....but you could almost hear the emphasis on the "if"....as though she didn't have a chance. Great race. And Raisman and Biles on the floor.....was a joy to watch...even Raisman who leaves any personality on the bench when she's performing
