The United States will be looking to get back on track by securing a few gold medals in this weekend’s swimming finals at the Tokyo Olympics. Winners will be determined in 9 different swimming events featuring the best men and women swimmers in the world.
Florida native Caleb Dressel won gold in the 100m and the 4 x 100m Freestyle events and will be looking to secure another first-place finish in tonight’s men’s 100m Butterfly, and advancing to the finals of tomorrow’s 50m Freestyle event. Dressel will also be competing on the Team USA’s Men’s 4x100m Medley Relay tomorrow night.
On the women’s side, all eyes will be on the greatest female swimmer of all time Katie Ledecky. So far at this year’s games, Ledecky has added gold and two silver medals to her vast collection of accomplishments. This weekend, she will be looking to continue her dominance with a triumphant performance in the Women’s 800m freestyle.
