Caeleb Dressel, who won five gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, wins the 50-meter freestyle to qualify for the Paris Olympic Games.
Caeleb Dressel earned his first individual race of the Paris Games, winning the men's 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials on Friday night. Dressel, the winner of five gold medals in Tokyo, finished third in the first individual event, the 100 freestyle, which relegated him to the relay at that distance.
She chased down reigning world champion Claire Curzan, who missed out on a berth in Paris with a time of 2:06.34. Smith previously won the 100 backstroke in world-record time, along with a victory in the 200 fly. She just missed a fourth individual race in Paris with a third-place showing in the 100 fly. Still, it's been a dynamic meet for the Minnesota native, who has endured plenty of ups and downs since setting her first world record in 2019.
