Sprint sensation Caeleb Dressel, 24, could become just the fourth swimmer in history to win seven medals in a single games when he leads Team USA in the pool at the Tokyo Games. “Olympic Games was a great experience, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t a life-changing experience,” Dressel said on The Ben and Caeleb Show podcast he co-hosts. Dressel married his high school sweetheart Meghan Haila on Valentine’s Day, but admits he did not even miss a single practice to tie the knot, despite being given time off by his coaches. Dressel has been described by Australian Olympic great Ian Thorpe as the “best male athlete” since Michael Phelps.
