What a story. He got gold in 2000, then used drugs and alcohol, almost died, turned his life around, then won gold in Rio.

Gold in 2000, Gold in 2016. What a comeback!

I like how Nathan is so happy for his bronze, I mean, it's great to win a medal even if it's bronze. I'd die to win at least the bronze. But it's also good to be ambitious and go for the gold.

I love watching this event. No holds barred, just straight up who's faster. Reminds me of the playground races in elementary school, but in water.

Winners of 50m freestyle at the olympics by age: 23, 21, 25, 19, 27, 30, 21, 22...35. Ervin is not only the oldest winner, but he's also the youngest gold medalist over 50m freestyle. To win at 35, when the average age of a winner is less than 24 years of age is nothing short of astonishing. It will Never be repeated.

[AlissaHamilton]

Ervin won gold at 35. Michael Phelps would be 35 in the Tokyo Olympics. This may change the Goats decision...

Anthony ervin is my favourite freestyle swimmer, he accelerate in the last 20m whom the others cant and his techniques is perfect. I respect his life and minds. He is humble and will always helps the one who deserve it. Anthony ervin is the bigman in freestyle swims court. Thankyous ervin 🙋 👏☝👍
