The Men’s 4x100m race had one of the most dramatic finishes ever, with Team USA fighting hard in the arena. Caeleb Dressel, along with Hunter Armstrong, Ryan Held, and Matt King, managed to mark their presence with a strong performance.
Together, the team stood fourth, clocking in at a stunning 3:12:61. They went on a neck-to-neck battle with team Australia, although they already had their own country’s world record to stand up to. Having previously set a jaw-dropping time of 3:08:24, the men have a serious standard to reach up to.
During these trials, however, the team seems to have saved up some energy despite speculations that they could go ahead and break the world record this time around. Lagging in the first two laps, Dressel was the last one to finish the race with his full might.
While the group may not have finished first in the heats, they have set some serious standards on team work. With the four now proceeding to the finals, fans are eagerly hoping for a new record – something that they’ve maintained is a possibility.
Team USA has more potential to emerge in the future of swimming with Caeleb Dressel and others
Since the beginning of the Olympic trials, all eyes have been on Dressel and his expertise in multiple categories. This being his third Olympic games, fans can’t wait to see what he has in store in terms of podium wins and medals for the country.
The Florida-born swimming icon has often caught attention for being one of the top names talked of alongside the legendary Michael Phelps. While their medal counts might still have some gap, Dressel’s dominance in the sport has been a refreshing sight for many who have their hopes on his future.
Along with him, new swimmers like Armstrong could also be a potential threat on the block. He holds immense potential to stand head-to-head with the big names, and Team USA could witness some major records and accolades coming up soon.
