Suriname's Anthony Nesty Beats Matt Biondi To Butterfly Gold - Seoul 1988 Olympics

[@charleslucas1784]

I remembered him quite well. Though I'm American, I was happy that there was someone who looked more like me than the other swimmers who won gold. As a person of African Descent, he made me proud!

I had saw a photo of his form, I had put his photo in my picture file for my group on face book, , I had no idea who this man was until USA Swimming post his picture and gave a wonderful post on Nesty. A wonderful and brilliant swimmer.

[@benleeuwin1336]

For me still one of the greatest sports athletes, they can say or write whatever they want ... he is a strong finsher and beat Biondi just like that :-)

[@sonshinegamers]

Excellent swim - especially since Anthony was towered by Biondi and Andy Jameson. If Biondi had done one more stroke instead of the long glide at the end, he would have won gold. It is a sport of seconds and inches!

[@SybiRousseau]

Wow! What a boy!

please update the title, it is BUTTERFLY. thank you

[@TheSireverard]

Nesty like a lot of non-American swimmers in the Western Hemisphere, trained in the U.S. He took good advantage of Biondi's poor finish. Had Biondi been stronger into the wall he could have won.

[@creatiefhero5797]

The first not white. History.
