Caeleb Dressel, Bobby Finke, Gretchen Walsh, Torri Huske and more members of Team USA join TODAY after closing out the Paris Olympics competition with two world records and the most gold medals of any country.
Only one individual gold medal for U.S. men's swimming in the 2024 Paris Olympics is not cutting it for Michael Phelps. The most decorated Olympian of all time shared his thoughts in an interview with USA Today about the performance of the men's team after it won just nine total medals and only one individual gold. 'For me, as a whole, I was pretty disappointed to see the U.S. swimming results,' Phelps said. 'Obviously, there were a few standout swims.
The men also lost the 4x100 medley relay for the first time in history, finishing second behind China after having previously won the race all 15 times they swam in it dating back to 1960. Team USA still led the world with 28 total swimming medals and edged Australia 8-7 in gold medals, but the bulk of that was from a women's team led by Katie Ledecky, Kate Douglass and Torri Huske. The eight total swimming gold medals are the least Team USA has won since the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
