TOKYO — Caeleb Dressel won his fourth gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics with a victory in the 50-meter freestyle Saturday.
Dressel cruised to a relatively easy win in the frenetic dash from one end of the pool to the other, touching in an Olympic record of 21.07 seconds.
Dressel swept the 50 and 100 freestyle races to along with a world-record triumph in the 100 butterfly and a leg on the winning U.S. team in the 400 free relay.
A few minutes after Dressel climbed from the pool, Australia’s Emma McKeon completed her own freestyle sweep.
