Dressel went on a march to compete in three events in a row on the morning of the 31st.
In the first event, the 100m butterfly final, she won the world record in 49.45 seconds.
He won three gold medals, including the 400m relay and 100m freestyle.
It is the first time in 49 years to win both the butterfly and the 100m freestyle at a single Olympics.
[Wrestle/USA National Swimming Team: You know I played well. It's really fun and it's fantastic to come here and learn so much. In particular, I am thrilled to be able to experience a completely different experience from the last Rio Olympics.] In the
semi-final of the 50m freestyle that took place 46 minutes later,
Dressel
lightly ranked first in the overall and advanced to the final and reserved the championship.
And 27 minutes later, I stood at the starting line again in the 400m final mixed medley relay in the new event.
As the last swimmer, he aimed for the fourth gold medal, but his previous teammate fell far behind, so he could not turn the tide and ended the forced march in 5th place.
American swimmer Katie Ledecky became the first woman to win three consecutive gold medals in the 800m freestyle.
After beating Australia's Titmus, who had beaten him in the 400m freestyle, he climbed to the top at 8:12.57 and won the 1500m freestyle and two gold medals.
