World Championships: United States Gets Lineup Correct, Cruises to Mixed Medley Relay Gold One year ago, the Olympic debut of the mixed 400 medley relay left the United States frustrated and without a medal. Tactical errors in picking a lineup left the Americans in fifth place, their worst finish in any relay in Olympic history, and a full 1.6 seconds away from the bronze medal. But this year, the American coaches did not repeat those mistakes, and they put together a lineup good enough to claim a world title in a dominating performance. |

 | World Championships: Americans Pull Away for Men’s 400 Free Relay Gold With Dressel, Held, Ress, Curry The United States has not lost the men’s 400 freestyle relay at a major international competition since Caeleb Dressel first took the blocks as the leadoff swimmer in 2016, and that streak continued at the World Championships in Budapest. Dressel led off for the U.S. in 47.67, the fastest 100 freestyle mark in the world this year. He touched just ahead of Canada’s Josh Liendo (47.87), and Dressel’s American teammates did the job from there. |

 | World Championships: Caeleb Dressel Successfully Defends 50 Fly Gold; N. Santos, M. Andrew Reach Podium In a butterfly sprint, Caeleb Dressel will always be a threat. Indeed, the 25-year-old got off to his patented powerful start and kept the field at bay to secure a second consecutive world title in the 50 butterfly. On Saturday evening, Dressel qualified second for the final behind Great Britain’s Ben Proud before he led off the U.S. men’s gold-medal-winning 400 free relay, and now he has an individual gold after touching in 22.57. Dressel’s time was two tenths short of his own American record of 22.35, which he set in winning gold at the 2019 World Championships. |
