    While trying to rescue all three and himself, he noticed his one son began turning blue.

    “I was able to get to Marshall, who was face first, and I flipped him over,” said Fox.

    “And then a guy! That doctor! He was like, ‘Oh I’m a swimmer and a doctor and I came to help!’” explained James’ son, Colton.

    By pure chance, the group of four found themselves in front of Dr. Daniel Cassavar’s home, who just so happened to get off work early.

    Tears welled in Simone Manuel’s eyes. Her voice broke as she revealed the heartbreaking reason behind her failure to advance in the 100-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic trials.

    The first Black woman ever to win an individual swimming gold medal at the Olympics was diagnosed with overtraining syndrome — or burnout — in late March. She’d never heard of it before. Her mother looked up the condition online. At first, Manuel modified her training at Stanford for two weeks.

    “I wasn’t seeing any progress with my performance in the pool,” she said Thursday night. “It actually was declining.”
