Record Olympionics Michael Phelps congratulated Caeleb Dressel & Co. to world record and Olympic victory. With the Layer Season over 4 x 100 meters, the American star swimmers bolted not only the twelve-year-old brand of the US quartet around Phelps, but also secured his fifth gold medal at the summer games in Tokyo. "I'm arranged that Olympia is the same as a World Cup. But it's something quite different," the 24-year-old acknowledged. "It has a completely different meaning to prepare for something, which there is only every four years."
Dresses rided into the Guard of Phelps (8x Gold in Beijing 2008), Landsmann Mark Spitz (7x Gold in Munich 1972), Kristin Otto (6x Gold in Seoul 1988) and Matt Biondi (5x Gold in Seoul 1988). "The US dominates so long as it is something very special to put his stamp on his stamp," said the model athlete who already publicly asked, not to be cheered up to the new Phelps. "It's not my goal to beat anyone. I want to exploit my potential."
Once Dressel has his "job did not do"
After 13 World Cup Titles 2017 and 2019, this also lucky the Olympia, where he had already won with squadrons in front of Tokyo. In Rio, Phelps was still there that now holds the world records with two seasons and over 400 meters layers.
"I was really satisfied with my performance in Rio. But I knew I wanted to achieve much more than just to be a season swimmer," said Dressel. The US was with eleven times gold and a total of 30 medals the most successful nation in the basin in Japan's metropolis. The most successful woman was the Australian Emma McKeon with four times gold and three bronze medals.

Before the success of the Layer Season with Ryan Murphy, Michael Andrew and Zach Apple grabbed the victory over 50 meters of freestyle on Sunday. "I'm so proud of him," said back float Murphy. "I know Caeleb since his fifth year of life." On the previous days, the buddy of children's days had triumphed over 100 meters of freestyle, 100 meters butterfly and with the freestyle season over 4 x 100 meters. Disappointing was there rank five with the mixed season over 4 x 100 meters lay. "To speak for me: I did not do my job," spoiled Dressel.
Sometimes it was a 'oh, that's shit today'
In the total balance, this could not say any of the floating star of these games. "I knew that weight was on my shoulders," he wrote. But he delivered imposing. And learned a lot about himself after his own statement. "I feel that I can go away as a better swimmer," said the Sprint Ass.
Amazed on the end of the end. He confessed to have been "nervous" in front of the races. "Not every morning the first words were from my mouth 'I'm so excited," he said. "Sometimes it was a 'oh, that's shit today'." But then went well ...
