Caeleb Dressel is swimming Saturday to become the first person to win three gold medals in one day at an Olympics or world championships.
He’s one for one.
The rising University of Florida senior captured the 50m freestyle in Budapest on Saturday for his fourth gold of the week.
Dressel clocked 21.15 seconds, an American record and the fastest time outside of the super-suit era. Brazil’s Bruno Fratus took silver in 21.27, followed by Great Britain’s Ben Proud for bronze.
The event lacked the reigning Olympic and world champions — Anthony Ervin and Florent Manaudou.
