I was 15 years old when Ervin won his first gold in Sydney. To see him winning again gave me the old memories back from my childhood :)

Manaudou....Manaudou and Ervin, Manaudou and Ervin! Ervin! ERVIN! Sixteen years long, he wins the gold again! Sixteen years later, he wins the gold, again!

Here's how amazing this race is: If Michael Phelps had swum in the 2020 Olympics (provided they had not gotten postponed) and won a gold medal.... Anthony Ervin would STILL hold the record for oldest individual gold medalist.

And he did it in the 50 free, where anything can happen — After coming back from being a hard drug abuser. Legendary story

Looking at Manadou his posture suggests he might have been overconfident that he would win....only to be surprised....

I wonder if anyone of you know Irvins story? He became a lost soul. Addiction cost him 8 9 years of his life. He still had people who helped him. He had not swam for almost a decade. He had some great people help him in his worst time of life.

As always, this is the best sports in Olympics...:) Anthony Ervin just smoked 'em all like it wasn't big of a deal. Just racing for fun...:)) I like this guy.

2 Olympics in a row from lane 3. This time he didn't kill his start to give himself a chance.

Eirvin's body is drag-free slender. That's why he won.

it says a lot about these athletes when Adrian and Ervin are smiling and Manandou looks like an entitled boy because he is tall, has a chiseled jaw and has an accent
