Anthony Ervin shattered the record for oldest individual Olympic swimming gold medalist in Rio, but his goal for Tokyo 2020 isn’t quite as ambitious at this point.
“My definitive goal would be to make sure I’m in the finals at Olympic Trials,” Ervin said, according to “Red Bulletin.” “Just to show that I’m still f—— good.”
Ervin will be 39 in 2020, older than all but one previous U.S. Olympic swimmer, all but one previous Olympic swimming medalist and all but one Olympic swimmer since 1928 (the exception in all three cases was Dara Torres, 41 in 2008).
