Caeleb Dressel, on the rise and Olympics-bound again, is ready to lend his hard-won wisdom to young rivals even as he aims to reestablish himself as swimming's preeminent sprinter.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist booked his first individual swim at the Paris Games in the 50 meter freestyle, having missed out on a defense of his 100 free title from Tokyo with a third-placed finish in the blue-ribbon event of the U.S. Olympic swimming trials in Indianapolis. On Saturday, he won the 100 meter butterfly to cap an emotional meet.
Chris Guiliano, 20, won the 100 free — and also made the Paris team in the 50 and 200 free.
