Caeleb Dressel does it again.
The sprint specialist found himself on the medal stand once more in Tokyo, taking home gold in the 100m butterfly. Heading into the race, Dressel was the heavy favorite after tying the Olympic record (50.39) in the heat and breaking it less than 24 hours later during the semifinal. He somehow one-upped himself again, setting a new world record with a time of 49.45.
Kristof Milak of Hungary came in second at 49.68, while Switzerland's Noe Ponti took bronze with a time of 50.74.
The 24-year-old won his first individual gold medal just a few days ago after setting a new Olympic record in the 100m individual freestyle.
