Dressel Grabs Third Gold Medal in Tokyo

Historic Swim Breaks Olympic Record Set by Phelps in 2008

WEB Caeleb Dressel showcased an incredible performance in the Men's 100m Butterfly Final at Tokyo 2020, securing gold with a record-breaking time. The US-American swimmer set a new world record of 49.45 seconds, surpassing his previous best mark. This victory marks Dressel's third gold medal at the Summer Games.

The men's 100m butterfly event witnessed a dramatic contrast between Beijing 2008 and Tokyo 2020. In Beijing, Michael Phelps won the gold medal with a time of 50.58 seconds. However, Dressel's world-record swim of 49.45 seconds shattered Phelps' Olympic record, demonstrating the significant progress and speed development in the sport over the past 13 years.

Hungarian swimmer Kristof Milak pushed Dressel to the limit, but the American ultimately prevailed with both the gold medal and the world record. Dressel's exceptional performance continues to solidify his status as one of the greatest swimmers of all time.
