Caeleb Dressel, one of the world's most dominant male swimmers, got off to a strong start in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics by leading the U.S. to gold in the men's 4x100-meter freestyle relay. The U.S. finished with a time of 3:08:97, just ahead of the silver medalist Italy and bronze medalist Australia.
Led by Dressel, the U.S. team earned gold behind strong efforts from Blake Pieroni, Bowen Becker and Zach Apple -- who had the best split of any of the Americans with a 46.06 anchor.
After finishing with two gold medals in the 2016 Rio Olympics, Dressel is off to a similar trajectory this time around.
