20 year old Simone Manuel made history for her country, US, after she becomes the first black woman to win a Olympic Gold in the 100M swimming freestyle.
She is also the first American to win the 100M freestyle since the 1984 Olympics.
While being interviewed, the Stanford University student who's shedding hot tears said:
"This medal is not just for me, it's for a whole bunch of people who have come before me and have been an inspiration to me. And it's for all the people after me who believe you can't do it.
I just want to be an inspiration to others that you can do it," she added emotionally as she basked in the glory of victory.
