By Jim Rusnak
BUDAPEST – Last year, Simone Manuel shocked the swimming world when she tied Penny Oleksiak of Canada for Olympic gold in the women’s 100m freestyle, beating out the heavily favored Aussie, Cate Campbell, in the process.
Despite that gold medal, Manuel found herself in the role of underdog spoiler once again Friday at the 17th FINA world Championships, capturing gold in an American record time of 52.27.
