It’s a tough pill to swallow, but that’s what’s giving me peace. I think most athletes, we’re not proud of ourselves when we accomplish something so great. I hope that inspires more athletes to feel that way. I think this was the first time where before I showed up at the meet, I was proud of myself. I think sometimes I don’t sit back and appreciate what I’ve done. “I’m someone where when I have accomplished something, I’m always looking forward to the next thing. It was January when the condition reared its head. It’s still a tough pill to swallow.”īefore the gun went off, NBC had reported that Manuel skipped three weeks of training with Greg Meehan at Stanford in April and took a break back home in Houston.Īt a post-race press conference, Manuel revealed that she had been suffering from ‘overtraining syndrome’, the symptoms of which include a general feeling of fatigue and malaise, and not only in training. Manuel took comfort in the status no-one can ever deny her but acknowledge the hurt, telling reporters: “I’m an Olympic champion. The 2016 Olympic 100m final is, of course, one of those moments that remind us never to call a result until the clock stops: not only did the Campbell sisters have a bad day at the office but this is what the sub-53sec club looked like in 2016 by the end of the year: This isn’t the last time I am going to do something great in the pool, and I am confident in that.” “Your dream is worth fighting for and this definitely was my biggest fight. Omaha would not be her last appearance as a someone capable of being “great in the poll”.

Any place on the squad, of course, would make her eligible for addition to a relay should she recover and show better form on the way to Tokyo. Manuel has the 50 still to go but if the condition she says she is suffering from has left her so far shy of top flight over 100m, there is little hope in her getting much within half a second of her best in the dash. It’s all about staying positive and staying focused.Emma McKeon, courtesy of Swimming Australiaĥ3.13 NEDEIN21 F Kromowidjojo, Ranomi, NEDĥ3.25 AUSOLY21 F O’Callaghan, Mollie, AUSĪ USA quartet without Manuel at or close to best would weaken the American quartet significantly.
